What type of cable is used with 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet?
A.
Fiber-optic cable
B.
Four pairs of Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted-par (UTP) wires.
C.
Two pairs of Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or Category 1 shielded twisted-pair (STP)
wires.
D.
RG.58 cable.
Explanation:
100BaseTX is a 100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two pairs of either UTP or STP
wiring. The first pair of wires is used to receive data; the second is used to transmit. To guarantee
proper signal timing, a 100BaseTX segment cannot exceed 100 meters in length. This specification of
Ethernet is based on the IEEE 802.3 standard.
