2. Ethernet over twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

   Ethernet over twisted-pair technologies use twisted-pair cables for the physical layer of an Ethernet computer network. They are a subset of all Ethernet physical layers. Early Ethernet used various grades of coaxial cable, but in 1984, StarLAN showed the potential of simple unshielded twisted pair. This led to the development of 10BASE-T and ...

3. Medium-dependent interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-dependent_interface

   Medium-dependent interface. A medium-dependent interface (MDI) describes the interface (both physical and electrical/optical) in a computer network from a physical-layer implementation to the physical medium used to carry the transmission. Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium-dependent interface – crossover (MDI-X) interface.

4. Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

   An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers) or two switches to each other. By contrast, straight through patch cables are used to connect devices of ...

5. Networking cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cable

   Networking cable. Networking cable is a piece of networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share devices such as printers or scanners. Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber cable, and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the ...

6. Gigabit Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet

   Gigabit Ethernet. Intel PRO/1000 GT PCI network interface controller. In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) is the term applied to transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second. The most popular variant, 1000BASE-T, is defined by the IEEE 802.3ab standard. It came into use in 1999, and has replaced Fast ...

7. Autonegotiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonegotiation

   Autonegotiation is a signaling mechanism and procedure used by Ethernet over twisted pair by which two connected devices choose common transmission parameters, such as speed, duplex mode, and flow control. In this process, the connected devices first share their capabilities regarding these parameters and then choose the highest-performance ...
