Cat3 Cable
100 MBPS
1024 Hubs
100 meters from base to each hub
1st to use 4 pairs
Now Obsolete

A

Straight Through Cable

31
Q

What is the port actually called once you push or use the UPLINK button/port on a switch?

A

Medium Dependent Interface Crossover ( MDI-X )

32
Q

Most modern switches use autosensing ports that can use straight through cables and that is called:

A

Auto Medium Dependent Interface Crossover ( Auto-MDI-X )

33
Q
