Definitions of Fast Ethernet:

• A version of Ethernet that operates at 100 Mbps. Fast Ethernet is in the form of an Ethernet hub with an internal bus that runs at 100 Mbps.

• also called 100BASE-T10 provides transmission speeds up to 100 megabits per second and is typically used for LAN backbone systems, supporting workstations with 10BASE-T cards. Gigabit Ethernet provides an even higher level of backbone support at 1000 megabits per second (1 gigabit or 1 billion bits per second).

• A new Ethernet standard that supports 100 Mbps using category 5 twisted pair or fiber optic cable.

• Internationalstandard that defines the wires-and-chips aspects of networking as well as the software aspects of how data is transmitted. It has been developed over the last few years and increases the speed of Ethernet from 10 Mega-Bits per Second to 100.

• Uses the same transmission method as 10-Mbps Ethernet (collision detection) but operates at 100 Mbps – 10 times faster. Fast Ethernet provides a smooth upgrade path for increasing performance in congested Ethernet networks, because it uses the same cabling, applications and network management tools. Variations include 100Base-FX, 100Base-T4 and 100Base-TX.

• Term used to describe the standards used to define 100 Mbps version of the CMSA/CD (Ethernet) standard.

• Proposed 100Mbit/s technology for workstation LANs from the eponymous Fast Ethernet Alliance, which includes 3Com and SynOptics. It has been adopted by the IEEE as the basis for the 100BaseT Ethernet standard.

• Fast Ethernet is an upgraded standard in connecting computers into a local area Network (LAN). It works just like regular Ethernet except it can transfer data at a peak rate of 100 mbps. Also referred to as 100BaseT, fast Ethernet is more expensive and less common than its slower 10BaseT sibling.

• A 100 Mbps technology based on the 10BASE-T Ethernet CSMA/CD network access method. Favorite Channel Selection – (FAV) - The storing of selected channels in the memory of the Channel Selector. It can be set up to memorize the viewing habits of a user, allowing for "channel-surfing" of only his or her favorite channels. FCC - (Federal Communications Commission) - The US governmental agency responsible for regulation of telecommunications and broadcasting in the USA. ...

• An Ethernet Network that will support up to 100 megabits per second of data transfer.

• A new implementation of Ethernet technology that allows for transmission speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
  adultchamber.com/members/glossary.htm
• A 100 megabit per second (Mbps) baseband-type network that uses the contention-based CSMA/CD media access method. The new method was presented to the IEEE committee for review in 1994.

• Based upon an extension to the IEEE 802.3 specification for Ethernet, which offers speeds ten times that of 10BaseT Ethernet.

• An Ethernet networking system which transmits data at 100 MBps; theoretically 10 times fast than Ethernet.

• An IEEE networking standard for transmitting data at 100 Mbps.
  www.hscgroup.co.uk/f.html
• A 100BaseT 802.3u standard, Fast Ethernet merely reduces the "bit time" (duration of each bit transmission) by a factor of ten resulting in 10 times the performance of 10BaseT. Because 100BaseT uses the same CSMA/CD access method used on all Ethernet products, the solution can be deployed into existing networks without requiring massive cabling changes.

• Mostly used for machine to machine connections by service providers, this is a 100Mbps data connection.
  www.cedweb.net/bandwidth.htm
• The 100-Mbps implementation of standard Ethernet.
  www.netchico.com/support/glossary/f.html
• A variation of standard ethernet (10 megabytes/second) that has the ability to transfer data at up to 100 megabits/second. A Fast Ethernet network requires special NIC's in each machine, along with special Fast Ethernet hubs.
  www.orionrecruitinggroup.com/networking%20terminology%20list.htm
• Fast Ethernet is a collective term for a number of Ethernet standards that carry traffic at the nominal rate of 100 Mbit/s, against the original Ethernet speed of 10 Mbit/s.
