`adapter card. Also called: Cheapernet, thin Ethernet,
`ThinNet, Thin Wire. See also BNC connector, bus net(cid:173)
`work, coaxial cable, Ethernet (definition 1), IEEE 802.x.
`1.0Base5 n. The Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standard for
`baseband LANs (local area networks) using a thick coaxial
`cable (3/8 inch) up to 500 meters long and carrying 10
`Mbps (megabits per second) in a bus topology. A network
`node is equipped with a transceiver that plugs into a 15-pin
`All connector on the adapter card and taps into the cable.
`This form of Ethernet is generally used for network back(cid:173)
`bones. Also called: thick Ethernet, ThickNet, ThickWire.
`See also coaxial cable, Ethernet (definition 1), IEEE 802.x.
`1.0Base-F n. The Ethernet standard for baseband LANs
`(local area networks) using fiber-optic cable carrying 10
`Mbps (megabits per second) in a star topology. All nodes
`are connected to a repeater or to a central concentrator. A
`node is equipped with a fiber-optic transceiver that plugs
`into an All connector on the adapter card and attaches to
`the cable with an ST or SMA fiber-optic connector. The
`10Base-F standard comprises 10Base-FB for a backbone,
`10Base-FL for the link between the central concentrator
`and a station, and 10Base-FP for a star network. See also
`Ethernet (definition 1), fiber optics, star network.
`1.0Base-FB n. See 10Base-F.
`10Base-Fl n. See 10Base-F.
`10Base-FP n. See 10Base-F.
`10Base-T n. The Ethernet standard for baseband LANs
`(local area networks) using twisted-pair cable carrying 10
`Mbps (megabits per second) in a star topology. All nodes
`are connected to a central hub known as a rnultiport
`repeater. See also Ethernet (definition 1). star network,
`twisted-pair cable.
`1.2-hour clock n. A clock that expresses the time within a
`12-hour range, returning to 1:00 after 12:59 AM or PM.
`Compare 24-hour clock.
`1 .2M adj. Short for 1.2-megabyte. Refers to the storage
`capacity for high-density 5.25-inch floppy disks.
`1.394 n. See IEEE 1394.
`
`14.4 n. A modem with a maximum data transfer rate of
`14.4 Kbps (kilobits per second).
`1..44M adj. Short for 1.44-megabyte. Refers to the stor(cid:173)
`age capacity for high-density 3.5-inch floppy disks.
`1.6-bit adj. See 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-biL

`1.00Base-FX n An Ethernet standard for baseband LAN s
`(local area ne orks) using fiber optic cable carrying 100
`Mbps (megabiJ per second). Also called: Fast Ethernet.
`See also Etheml;(definition I).
`1.00Base-T n.
`Ethernet standard for baseband LANs
`(local area net 'prks) using twisted-pair cable carrying
`l 00 Mbps (megabits per second). The 100Base-T standard
`is comprised of/100Base-T4 (four pairs of medium-grade
`to high-grade t.yisted-pair cable) and lOOBase-TX (two
`pairs of high-gryide twisted-pair cable). Also called: Fast
`Ethernet. See all.so Ethernet (definition 1).

`100Base-VG rl. An Ethernet standard for baseband LANs
`rks) using voic_e-grade twisted-pair cable
`(local area ne~
`carrying l 00
`ps (megabits per second). Unlike other
`Ethernet oetwo ks, 100Base-VG relies on an access
`method called emand priority, in which nodes send
`requests to hubf, which in tum give permission to transmit
`based on the pr)ority levels included with the requests.
`Also called: l iBase-VG-AnyLAN. See also Ethernet
`(definition 1).

`100Base-X n. Descriptor used for any of three forms of
`100 Mbps Eth
`et networks: 100Base-T4, 100Base-TX,
`or I 00Base-F ( Also called: Fast Ethernet. See also
`100Base-T, l~Base-FX, Ethernet (definition 1).
`1.01.-key keybf>ard n. A computer keyboard modeled
`after the enha~ed keyboard; introduced by IBM for the
`IBM PC/AT. \fe 101-key keyboard and the enhanced key(cid:173)
`board are similF. in the number and function of their keys;
`they may diffej in the way the keys are laid out, the
`amount of tac~le feedback expressed when a key is
`pressed, and ~b shape and feel of the keycaps. See also
`enhanced keybl ard.

`having a resol~tion of 1024 columns of pixels by 768 rows
`of pixels. See 11so SVGA.
`1.0Base2 n. 'ljhe Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standard for
`basebaµd LA!'is (local area networks) using a thin coaxial
`cable (3/16 inab) up to 200 meters long and carrying 10
