Variants
| Speed | Distance | Name | Standard / Year |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 (nominally) | StarLAN | 802.3e 1986 | Runs over four wires (two twisted pairs) on telephone twisted pair or Category 3 cable. An active hub sits in the middle and has a port for each node. Manchester coded signaling. |
| 10 | 100 (nominally) | LattisNet | (pre) 802.3i 1987 | Runs over AT&T Premises Distribution System (PDS) wiring or four wires (two twisted pairs) on telephone twisted pair or Category 3 cable. |
| 10 | 100 (nominally) | 10BASE-T | 802.3i 1990 | Runs over four wires (two twisted pairs) on a Category 3 or Category 5 cable. Star topology with an active hub or switch sits in the middle and has a port for each node. This is also the configuration used for 100BASE-T and gigabit Ethernet. Manchester coded signaling. |
| 100 | 100 | 100BASE-TX | 802.3u 1995 | 4B5B MLT-3 coded signaling, CAT5 copper cabling with two twisted pairs. |
| 1000 | 100 | 1000BASE‑T | 802.3ab 1999 | PAM-5 coded signaling, At least Category 5 cable, with Category 5e strongly recommended copper cabling with four twisted pairs. Each pair is used in both directions simultaneously. |
| 10 000 | 100 | 10GBASE‑T | 802.3an 2006 | THP PAM-16 coding. Uses category 6a cable. |
