2BASE-TL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2BASE-TL is an IEEE 802.3-2005 Physical Layer (PHY) specification for a full-duplex long reach point-to-point Ethernet link over voice-grade copper wiring.
2BASE-TL PHYs deliver a minimum of 2 Mbps over distances of up to 2.7 Km (9 Kft), using ITU-T G.991.2 (G.SHDSL.bis) technology over a single copper pair. These PHYs may also support an optional aggregation or bonding of multiple copper pairs, called PME Aggregation Function (PAF).
Unlike 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-T PHYs, providing a single rate of 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps respectively, 2BASE-TL link rate can vary, depending on the copper channel characteristics, such as length, wire diameter (gauge), number of pairs if the link is aggregated etc.
