What does the '10BaseT' standard signify in terms of network speed?

10 Mbps
100 Mbps
1 Gbps
10 Gbps

The correct answer is: 10 Mbps

The '10BaseT' standard indicates a network speed of 10 Mbps. This terminology is part of the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet, where '10' refers to the maximum transmission speed of 10 megabits per second. The 'Base' indicates that it is a baseband signaling type, and 'T' represents twisted pair cabling, which is the medium used for transmission. Understanding this standard is important for distinguishing it from other variants of Ethernet. For example, '100BaseT' would indicate a speed of 100 Mbps, while '1000BaseT' would suggest a speed of 1 Gbps. Therefore, it's clear that '10BaseT' is specifically tied to the 10 Mbps speed, which is foundational in Ethernet networking concepts.
