Term:
IEEE 802.3
Definition:
IEEE 802.3 is a bus network that uses CSMA/CD across either
broadband or baseband. The baseband version is based on
the Ethernet definition originated by Xerox (and supported
by DEC and 3COM). The methods currently (1997) defined
are: 100BaseT, 100 Mbps over Unshielded Twisted Pair;
100BaseTX/Fast ethernet, 100 Mbps over UTP/STP;
10Base2/Thinnet, 10 Mbps over 50 ohm thin coax;
10Base5/Thicknet, 10 Mbps over 50 ohm thick coax backbone;
10BaseT/Twisted Pair, 10 Mbps over Twisted Pair.
