SUBJECT:

UTP Ethernet's limitation.

QUESTION:

What's the limitation for UTP Ethernet network ?

ANSWER:

An Unshielded Twisted Pair Ethernet network has the following
characteristics and limitations:

. Maximum cable segment length from the adapter to a 10BaseT
hub is 100 meters.
. Utilizes standard unshielded 22, 24, or 26 AWG twisted-pair
wire.
. Uses standard RJ-45 connectors.
. Sustains 10 Mbps transmission rate and is compatible with the
coax cable based Ethernet systems.
. Connects to standard Thick or Thin Ethernet segments through
a repeater, bridge or 10BaseT hub.
. Uses a star topology. Each network station connects directly
to a 10BaseT hub.
. The maximum distance between two hubs is 100 meters. The
maximum number of cable segments between any two stations
(going through hubs only) on the network is five.
