- 10/100
10/100 refers to
Ethernet adapters or switch ports that supports two different speeds of Ethernet on the same port. The two speed supported are10BASE-T ,100BASE-TX . When the link is established the correct speed is selected using autonegotiation to set the speed and duplex for the best values supported by both connected devices. If auto-negotiation fails, a multiple speed device will sense the speed used by its partner, but will assume half-duplex.
