IEEE 802.3 LAN Standards

The IEEE 802.3 LAN Standards are defined as follow:


10Base5

>> Medium: Thick Coax (10 mm);
>> Maximum length per segment: 500 m;
>> Topology: BUS;


10Base2

>> Medium: Thin Coax (5 mm);
>> Maximum length per segment: 200 m;
>> Topology: BUS;


10BaseT

>> Medium: Twisted Pair;
>> Maximum length per segment: 100 m;
>> Topology: Star (BNC Connectors);


10BaseF

>> Medium: Optical Fiber;
>> Maximum length per segment: 2 km;
>> Topology: Point-to-Point link;


802.3 Standards have:

Data Rate: 10 Mbps (Baseband Transmission);
Manchester Coding;
Maximum length: 2500 m (4 repeaters);
Minimal frame: 64 Bytes (51.2 us);
