802.3ae
[…] cables are vulnerable to EMI (electromagnetic interference).
UTP
[…] cables emit a faint signal outside of the cable, which can be detected and copied.
UTP
[…] fiber cables allow multiple angles (modes) of light waves to enter the fiberglass core.
Multimode
A […] connection allows both devices to send and receive data at the same time.
full-duplex
Ethernet was originally defined in the IEEE […] standard in 1983.
802.3
Fiber-Optic cables are connected to […] transceivers in a router or switch.
