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 Both of these are considered obsolete having been replaced by the twisted pair cable.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 meaning of 1000BASE-TX and 1000BASE-TX in CAT6 cable?

1000BASE-TX is a networking standard that specifies the transmission of 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over twisted-pair cabling, primarily using Category 6 (CAT6) cables. This standard utilizes two pairs of wires for data transmission, allowing for higher performance and reduced crosstalk compared to earlier standards. While 1000BASE-T is commonly used for Gigabit Ethernet over CAT5e or CAT6, 1000BASE-TX is less prevalent and typically refers to a specific implementation that optimizes performance for shorter distances. In essence, both terms relate to high-speed data transmission capabilities facilitated by CAT6 cabling.

What is the maximum segment length that is specified by the 1000BASE-T standard?

The maximum segment length specified by the 1000BASE-T standard is 100 meters (328 feet) when using Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. This length includes the total length of the cable run from the switch or router to the endpoint device, accounting for any patch cables used in the installation.
