100base-T - Definition
100base-T refers to 100 Megabit per second baseband Fast Ethernet specification using UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) wiring. Like the 10BaseT technology on which it is based, 100BaseT sends link pulses over the network segment when no traffic is present. However, these link pulses contain more information than those used in 10BaseT. Three cabling variations are provided. 100BaseTX uses two pairs of Category 5 UTP, 100BaseT4 uses four pairs of Category 3, and 100BaseFX uses multimode optical fibers and is primarily intended for backbone use.
