100BaseTX or 100Base-TX

100BaseTX, also known as 100Base-TX, is a 100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two pairs of either UTP or STP wiring, based on 4B/5B signal encoding. The first pair of wires is used to receive data, and the second to transmit data. To guarantee proper signal timing and quality, a 100BaseTX segment cannot exceed 100 meters in length. 100BaseTX is part of the 100BaseX as defined in the IEEE 802.3u standard.
