was a lot more demanding then the last few I have created. I
usually have a better idea about the topics that I research.
Ethernet cabling I happen to know little about because I helped
set up a school lab about five years ago. That was the only
time that I have ever worked with an Ethernet system. To tell
you the truth, I was not even that much of an intricate part
of the whole program. Iım sure that it would have all been cabled,
networked, and set up just fine without my help. In fact, I
bet it would have been faster if I had not been around to get
in the way.
I decided
that I better review what Ethernet cabling was all about. This
page contains links to some informative sites that can help
you learn more about Ethernet cabling. These sites can help
you set up a basic Ethernet network in your home or office.
They even will take you into more advance and faster Ethernet
connection setups. If you are already an expert, it also contains
a few product links. These links contain the hardware as well
as the software needed for a great Ethernet network.

Charles
Spurgeon's Ethernet Web Site
I found
this site on the University
of Texas web page. It's well done, easy to follow,
and has lots of great links. This page is by far the best page
I was able to find on this topic. Check out the main
page. The author of this page provides:
extensive information about Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) local area
network (LAN) technology, including the original 10-Mbps system,
the 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet system (802.3 µ), the 1000-Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet system (802.3z/802.3ab), and the 10-Gb Ethernet
system (802.3ae).

Quick
Reference Guides to 10 Mbps Ethernet,
which includes a complete set of configuration
guidelines for the 10-Mbps half-duplex mode Ethernet system.
the Quick
Reference Guides to 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet,
which includes a complete set of configuration
guidelines for the 100 Mbps half-duplex mode Ethernet system.
the Multi-Segment
Configuration Guidelines from "Ethernet, The Definitive
Guide," which provides a complete set of 10-, 100-, and 1000-Mbps
Ethernet half-duplex configuration rules in a single chapter.
