10BASE-T Ethernet network
IEEE standard 802.3-compliant Ethernet products used
for local distribution of data. These networking products
characteristically use a cable made by twisting together two
insulated conductors with no common covering. (Commonly
known as twisted-pair cable.) Compare with AUI Ethernet
network and 10BASE2 Ethernet network.
