  2. Ethernet physical layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_physical_layer

    Many Ethernet adapters and switch ports support multiple speeds by using autonegotiation to set the speed and duplex for the best values supported by both connected devices. If autonegotiation fails, some multiple-speed devices sense the speed used by their partner, [ 1 ] but this may result in a duplex mismatch .

  3. Differential signalling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_signalling

    A signal transmitted differentially. Notice the increased amplitude at the receiving end. Differential signalling is a method for electrically transmitting information using two complementary signals. The technique sends the same electrical signal as a differential pair of signals, each in its own conductor.

  4. Media-independent interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media-independent_interface

    The RX_CTL signal carries RXDV (data valid) on the rising edge, and (RXDV xor RXER) on the falling edge. The TX_CTL signal likewise carries TXEN on rising edge and (TXEN xor TXER) on the falling edge. This is the case for both 1000 Mbit/s and 10/100 Mbit/s. [6] The transmit clock signal is always provided by the MAC on the TXC line.

  5. Low-voltage differential signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-voltage_differential...

    Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS), also known as TIA/EIA-644, is a technical standard that specifies electrical characteristics of a differential, serial signaling standard. LVDS operates at low power and can run at very high speeds using inexpensive twisted-pair copper cables.

  6. RS-485 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-485

    RS-485 supports inexpensive local networks and multidrop communications links, using the same differential signaling over twisted pair as RS-422.It is generally accepted that RS-485 can be used with data rates up to 10 Mbit/s [a] or, at lower speeds, distances up to 1,200 m (4,000 ft). [2]

  7. Attachment Unit Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachment_Unit_Interface

    The Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) is a physical and logical interface defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE5 Ethernet [1] and the earlier DIX standard. The physical interface consists of a 15-pin D-subminiature connector that links an Ethernet node's physical signaling to the Medium Attachment Unit (MAU), [2] sometimes referred to as ...

  8. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Some switches can also forward data at the network layer (layer 3) by additionally incorporating routing functionality. Such switches are commonly known as layer-3 switches or multilayer switches. [2 ...

  9. 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 ...
