What is the name of the type of 100M Ethernet that is used over 2 twisted pairs of Cat 5 copper wire?
What is the name of the type of 100M Ethernet that is used over 4 twisted pairs of Cat 5 copper wire?
If you have a full duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet running over a twisted pair cat 5 copper cable media, how far away from the switch can you locate the end station? What is the cause of this limitation?
If you have a full duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet running over a fiber optic media, how far away from the switch can you locate the end station? What is the cause of this limitation?
How many 100mbps class 1 repeaters can you have between end stations?

If you have a switch connected to a repeater would you want the switches port to be set to full or half duplex?
Does a port which is set to full duplex listen for collisions when it transmits?
What will happen if two stations connected to a switch at 100Mbps full duplex transmit 80Mbps of data to a third station at the same time?
Should you trust that auto-negotiation of duplex and speed will always work?
If you have two 1000Mbps Ethernet switches that are linked via fiber optics what type of fiber optic connection (and on what type of fiber) should you use to link the switches if they are 5 Kilometers apart? (assume lowest cost solution)
If you have two 1000Mbps Ethernet switches that are linked via fiber optics what type of fiber optic connection (and on what type of fiber) would you use to link the switches if they are 300 meters apart? (assume lowest cost solution)
