100Base-T (IEEE 802.3u)
A networking standard that supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps (100 megabits per second). 100BASE-T is based on the older Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often referred to as Fast Ethernet. Officially, the 100BASE-T standard is IEEE 802.3u.
Like Ethernet, 100BASE-T is based on the CSMA/CDLAN access method. There are several different cabling schemes that can be used with 100BASE-T, including:
100BASE-TX: two pairs of high-quality twisted-pair wires
100BASE-T4:four pairs of normal-quality twisted-pair wires
100BASE-FX: fiber optic cables

- 10Base5
The original cabling standard for Ethernet that uses coaxial cables. The name derives from the fact that the maximum data transfer speed is 10 Mbps, it uses baseband transmission, and the maximum length of cables is 500 meters. 10Base5 is also called thick Ethernet, ThickWire, and ThickNet.
- 10Base-T (Twisted Pair Ethernet)
One of several adaptations of the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) standard for Local Area Networks (LANs). The 10Base-T standard (also called Twisted Pair Ethernet) uses a twisted-pair cable with maximum lengths of 100 meters. The cable is thinner and more flexible than the coaxial cable used for the 10Base-2or 10Base-5 standards. Cables in the 10Base-T system […]
- 10Base-2
One of several adaptations of the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) standard for Local Area Networks (LANs). The 10Base-2 standard (also called Thinnet) uses 50 ohm coaxial cable (RG-58 A/U) with maximum lengths of 185 meters. This cable is thinner and more flexible than that used for the 10Base-5 standard. The RG-58 A/U cable is both less […]
- 133t speak
Slang used by hackers and by gamers on multiplayer game servers and in chatrooms. 133t is the slang word for “leet” which is short for elite, meaning the best. 133t speak usually consists of numbers replacing vowels in words (example: A=0, E=3), but occasionally the numbers will replace a consonant. It cannot really be spoken […]
- 1630-master
1630-master is a 3/4″ U-Matic videotape that can store your music program in digital form along with time-code information that is used to mark track locations. The digital sampling frequency for a 1630 CD master must be 44.1 KHz. In digital mastering the original tape recording is converted to the 1630-master which will contain the […]
