10baseT is the designation for ethernet LAN running on twisted pair cable at 10 megabits per second using cables and hardware compatible with 10baseT. 100baseT, also called Fast Ethernet, uses twisted pair cable where data transfer occurs at 100 megabits per second with cables and hardware compatible with 100baseT. 1000baseT (gigabit ethernet) runs at 1000 megabit per second or 1 gigabit with cables and hardware capable of maintaining that speed. The higher speed cables and hardware are supposed to be compatible with the earlier slower speed.
The T in 10..baseT indicates that it uses twisted pair cabling (called category 5, 5e, 6, 6a depending on the speed it can handle) with various rules about the cables regarding insulation, shielding, connection rules and a maximum cable distance of about 100 meters.
Earlier versions of ethernet used different cableing. 10base5 used a special thick coaxial cable, ran at 10 megabits per second with a maximum cable length of about 5 hundred meters. 10base2 used thinner cheaper coaxial cabling and connectors, also ran at 10 megabits per second but with a maximum cable length of about 200 meters. Both of these are considered obsolete having been replaced by the twisted pair cable.

What is the maximum allowable segment length on a 1000base t newwork?
The range is effectively unlimited because multiple active components can extend the range to nearly any range.
What industry standards body and standards series numbers do you need to reference for Ethernet applications and cabling?
You must be taking Cabling at ITT Tech... You can find the answer in your text book (Cabling: The Complete Guide to Copper and Fiber-Optic Networking) Fourth Edition: Andrew Oliviero / Bill Woodward. It is on page 8, top paragraph. The IEEE maintains the industry standards for Ethernet Protocols (or applications). This is part of the 802.3 series of standards and includes applications such as 1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX, 10GBase-T, and 10GBase-SR.
