What are the different physical Ethernet network types?
Some of the physical Ethernet types as defined are: 10BASE5 – 10BASE5 is the original design of the traditional Ethernet backbone, designed to be left in place permanently or for extended periods. 10BASE2 – 10BASE2 is the original design for a departmental or workgroup sized Ethernet environment. It is designed to be simple, inexpensive, and flexible as people and stations move. 10BROAD36 – 10BROAD36 is a seldom used Ethernet specification which uses a physical medium similar to cable television, with CATV-type cables, taps, connectors, and amplifiers. 1BASE5 – 1BASE5 is a specification of Ethernet that runs at 1 Mb/s over twisted pair wiring. This physical topology uses centralized hubs to connect the network devices. 10BASE-T – 10BASET provides Ethernet services over twisted pair copper wire. FOIRL – Fiber Optic Inter-Repeater Link – This specification of the 802.3 standard defines a standard means of connecting Ethernet repeaters via optical fiber. 10BASE-F – 10BASE-F is a set of op
