Elements of a Small PC Network
LAN Standards
- We will focus on LANs that follow the Ethernet standard (80% do)
Small Ethernet PC networks use only inexpensive UTP wiring
Speeds for NICs and Hubs or Switches
- 10Base-T (10 Mbps, baseband, UTP)
- 100Base-TX (100 Mbps, baseband, UTP)
- 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) (1 Gbps)
