P/P (Point-to-Point)

SMF – Single Mode Fiber (Laser) vs. MMF – Multi Mode Fiber (LED)

All Fiber uses (ST, SC, MTRJ and LC) connectors

AUI Attachment Unit Interface or DIX Digital Intel Xerox

SCC – Shielded Copper Connector

HSSDC - High Speed Serial Data Connector

Note * 62.5/125 and 50/125 micron multimode fiber is use on 1000BaseSX and 10GbaseSR

Note * 62.5/125 and 50/125 multimode fiber; two 10-micron single-mode optical fibers is used on 1000BaseLX

10Gbase is 10,000Mbps

1000BaseSX and 10GbaseSR use a long wavelength laser beam of 850nm

10GbaseLR use a long wavelength laser beam of 1300nm

10GbaseER use a long wavelength laser beam of 1550nm

Some networks have half and full duplex connection such as 100BaseFX, 1000BaseCX, 1000BaseLX and 10GbaseSR
