What is the speed, distance, connector, cabling for:

a)1000basesx ethernet

b)1000baset ethernet:

c)1000basetx ethernet:

 Please find answers below along with explanation.

Explanation:

a) speed: This standard (aka 802.3z) allows speeds of 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet), full duplex.

b) distance: As this standard uses fiber optics as physical layer, it breaks the 100 m limit of the Ethernet copper-based standards. It can transport frames up to 550 m, using 50 μm diameter multimode fiber.

c) connector: It uses SFP transceiver modules, for LC fiber optics connectors (duplex type).

d): cabling: It features multimode fiber, operating in the first window (850 nm), with two fibers per link, one for each direction ).

This is the dominant standard for copper-based Gigabit Ethernet, aka 802.3ab.

a) speed: It can transmit up to 1 Gbps full duplex.

b) distance: In any network segment, it can reach to 100 m.

c) connector: It uses the RJ-45 connector that is used for 10/100BaseT also.

d) cabling: It employs 4 pairs of UTP cable, of cat5 or better, in order to transport 1 Gbps full duplex.

This is another copper-based Gigabit Ethernet standard, based on 802.3ab also, which it has the same speed, distance and connector than the above described 1000BaseT standard, so we will not repeat them here.

The only difference regards cabling, as this version uses only 2 copper pairs instead of 4, but due to the cable must have better features that the used for 1000Base T, it can only use cat 6 or better cables, which makes it more expensive to deploy.
