Network Interfaces and Cables

The document discusses Ethernet standards, cable types, and fiber optic cables. It provides the following key information: 1) Ethernet standards include 10-BASE-T using 2 wire pairs, 100-BASE-T using 4 wires, and 1000-BASE-T using 4 wire pairs. 10G-BASE-T uses 8 wires. 2) 10/100 Mbps cables can be straight-through or crossover cables depending on if the devices are the same or different. 3) Fiber optic cables have a fiber glass core, cladding, protective buffer, and outer jacket. Multimode fiber allows longer cable runs than UTP but shorter than singlemode. Singlemode fiber allows the longest cable runs
