Ethernet
Ethernet usually refers
to cable and is the most widely-used local area network
( LAN) technology.
Specified in a standard, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet was
originally developed by Xerox from an earlier version
called Alohanet. Ethernet was named by Robert Metcalfe.
In 1985, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) in the United States of America, made a
series of standards for Local Area Networks (LANs)
called the IEEE 802 standards.
Comparisons of some Ethernet types. distances are in
meters.
Type -Cable -Min length between
nodes -Max Segment length -Max overall length
10-Base2- Thinnest -0.5 -185- 925
10-Base5- Thicknet -2.5- 500- 2500
10-Base-F Fiber -2000
10-Base-T UTP- 2.5 -100
Ethernet is one of the most common
computer-networking components, and the standardization
of this technology has created some of the easiest
ways..
