All About Cabling | 2001-01-01 | Linksys |
| The two most popular types of network cabling are twisted-pair (also known as 10BaseT) and thin coax (also known as 10Base2). 10BaseT cabling looks like ordinary telephone wire, except that it has 8 wires inside instead of 4. Thin coax looks like the copper coaxial cabling that's often used to connect a VCR to a TV set. | |||

Understanding xDSL | 2004-07-01 | Teledata Networks |
| xDSL is a term for Broadband Access technologies based on Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology; "x" signifies that there are various flavors of DSL. xDSL provides always-on, high-speed data services over existing copper wires to residential and business subscribers. With this technology, POTS and DSL coexist on same copper line. Lower rate xDSL (up to 1.5 Mbit/s) is gaining popularity in the residential market, and is expected to become faster and cheaper (such as ADSL), while high performance xDSL (up to 52 Mbit/s) targets business and high-end users (such as VDSL).
