So, does this mean it should really be called 80BaseTX/FX because of the 20% overhead introduced by 4B/5B? :) Prof. Tom Lisa, CCAI Community College of Southern Nevada Cisco Regional Networking Academy Priscilla Oppenheimer wrote: 4B/5B is a signal encoding scheme. It's used in 100BaseTX

It's 25% in the other direction (125mbps). But I'm thinking you already knew that? DaveC Tom Lisa wrote: So, does this mean it should really be called 80BaseTX/FX because of the 20% overhead introduced by 4B/5B? :) Prof. Tom Lisa, CCAI Community College of Southern Nevada Cisco

William, 4B/5B is a coding scheme that maps 16 possible 4B data nibble values to a subset of the 5B binary code groups available. It was used with FDDI to avoid consecutive zero's that may occur in data, i.e. FDDI doesn't transmit 4 bit ASCII data nibbles, instead it transmits 5

4B/5B is a signal encoding scheme. It's used in 100BaseTX and 100BaseFX also, so it's rather important to know. I'm going to have all the gory details in an upcoming white paper at http://www.certificationzone.com. Here's quick preview. 100BaseFX uses Non Return to Zero, Invert on One (NRZI),
