Ethernet Standards (UTP)
The Entire family of IEEE LAN Standards 202011220920 Ethernet Standards (Physical) that together define the Physical Layer & the Data-Link Layers of the Wired LAN technology is referred to as an Ethernet.
Speed | Common Name | Informal IEEE Standard Name | Formal IEEE Standard Name | Cable Type | Max Distance |
