Why is 100BASE-TX "FastEthernet" better than 10BASE-T? |
100BASE-TX is much faster than 10BASE-T and has a theoretical bandwidth of 100 Mbps. |
|
|
Break down the meaning of 100BASE-TX (name) |
The "X" indicates that you can use many different types of copper and fiber-optic cabling |
|
|
Advantages of 100BASE-TX |
|
|
|
Disadvantages of 100BASE-TX |
|
|
|
What 1000BASE-T commonly known as? |
1000BASE-T is commonly known as Gigabit Ethernet. Gigabit Ethernet is a LAN architecture. |
|
|
Advantages of 1000BASE-T |
The 100BASE-T architecture supports data transfer rates of 1 Gbps. At 1Gbps, it is ten times faster than Fast Ethernet, and 100 times faster than Ethernet. This increased speed makes it possible to implement bandwidth-intensive applications, such as live video. |
|
|
1 fact about 1000BASE-T architecture |
It has interoperability with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX |
|
|
What does the IEEE 802.11 standard specify? |
It specifies connectivity for wireless networks. |
|
|
What does Wi-Fi stand for and refer to? |
Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity and refers to the 802.11 family |
|
|
Name all the protocols in the 802.11 family |
|
|
|
What do the protocols in the 802.11 do? |
These protocols specify the frequencies, speeds, and other capabilities of the different Wi-Fi standards |
|
|
Facts about 802.11a |
Devices conforming to the 802.11a standard allow WLANs to achieve data rates as high as 54 Mbps. IEEE 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz radio frequency range and within a maximum range of 150 feet. |
|
|
Facts about 802.11b |
802.11b operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range with a maximum theoretical data rate of 11 Mbps. These devices operate within a maximum range of 300 feet. |
|
|
Facts about 802.11g |
802.11g provides the same theoretical maximum speed as 802.11a, which is 54 Mbps, but operates in the same 2.4 GHz spectrum as 802.11b. Unlike 802.11a, 802.11g is backward-compatible with 802.11b. 802.11g also has a maximum range of 300 feet. |
|
|
Facts about 802.11n |
802.11n is a newer wireless standard that has a theoretical bandwidth of 540 Mbps and operates in either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency range with a maximum range of 984 feet. |
|
|
What is 802.15.1? |
A bluetooth range that has a bandwidth of up to 2 Mbps and is not interoperable with any other 802.11 |
|
|
What is a NIC? |
A Network interface card, NIC, or Network card is an electronic device that connects a computer to a computer network, usually a LAN. |
