1000BASE-CX: A version of the IEEE 802.3 standard for Gigabit Ethernet using shielded twisted pair cable (STP). The maximum length of a single segment is 25 meters. [IEEE 802.3]

1000BASE-LX: A version of the IEEE 802.3 standard for Gigabit Ethernet using optical fiber (multi- or single-mode) and long-wave laser. The maximum lengths of a single segment are 550 meters (multimode) and 5000 m (single mode). [IEEE 802.3]

1000BASE-SX: A baseband signaling version of the IEEE 802.3 standard for Gigabit Ethernet using multimode optical fiber and short-wave laser. The maximum length of a single segment is 550 meters. [IEEE 802.3]

1000BASE-T:A baseband signaling version of the IEEE 802.3 standard for Gigabit Ethernet using un-shielded twisted pair cable (UTP). The maximum length of a single segment is 25 meters. [IEEE 802.3]

100BASE-FX: A baseband signaling version of the IEEE 802.3 standard for Fast Ethernet using 2 optical fibers. [IEEE 802.3]

100BASE-T: An implementation of the Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard on unshielded, twisted-pair wiring (UTP), using baseband signaling, at 100 Mbps. The maximum length of a single segment is 100 meters. [IEEE 802.3]

100BASE-T4: A baseband signaling version of the IEEE 802.3 standard for Fast Ethernet using four UTP pairs. [IEEE 802.3]

100BASE-TX: A baseband signaling version of the IEEE 802.3 standard for Fast Ethernet using 2 UTP or STP pairs. [IEEE 802.3]

100VG-AnyLAN: A proposed 100-Mbps LAN topology over UTP as suggested by Hewlett Packard.

10BASE2: An implementation of the Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard on thin RG58 coaxial cable, a baseband medium, at 10 Mbps. It is a bus topology LAN that uses baseband signaling with a maximum segment length of 185 meters. Also known as Thin Ethernet or Thinnet. [IEEE 802.3]

10BASE5: The original Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard as defined by DEC(tm), Xerox(R), and Intel(R), which uses thick coaxial cable. It is a bus topology LAN that uses baseband signaling with a maximum segment length of 500 meters. Also known as Thick Ethernet or Thicknet. [IEEE 802.3]

10BASE-F: The 10BaseF standard developed by the IEEE 802.3 committee defines the use of fiber for Ethernet. 10BaseFB allows up to 2km per segment (on multi-mode fiber) and is designed for backbone applications such as cascading repeaters. 10BaseFL describes the standards for the fiber optic links between stations and repeaters, again allowing up to 2 km per segment on multi-mode fiber. In addition, there are the 10BaseFP (Passive components) standard and the FOIRL (Fiber Optic Inter-Repeater Link), which provides the specification for a fiber optic MAU (Media Attachment Unit) and other interconnecting components. [IEEE 802.3]

10BASE-T: An implementation of the Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard on unshielded, twisted-pair wiring, a baseband medium, at 10 Mbps. The maximum length of a single segment is 100 meters. [IEEE 802.3]

10BROAD36: An implementation of the Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard using analog PSK modulation. [IEEE 802.3]

1BASE5: An implementation of the Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard for low data-rate. Uses twisted-pair cable and daisy-chained connection with a range of 185 meters at 1 Mbps. In AT&T (NCR)’s implementation called StarLAN. [IEEE 802.3]

23B+D: ISDN primary-rate service consisting of 23* 64 Kbps B Channels and one 64 Kbps D Channel. Overhead is 8 kbps which adds up to 1.544 Mbps (same as DS-1/T-1 Line). See also PRI. [ISDN]

2B+D: ISDN basic-rate service consisting of two 64 Kbps B Channels and one 16 Kbps D Channel. Overhead is 48 kbps which adds up to 192 kbps. See also BRI. [ISDN]

3DES: DES run 3 times.  [WhatIs.com]

56K leased line: Permanent network connection leased from a telecommunication provider. The leased line uses special high-speed phone lines and sends/receives data at 56 Kbps. [Common Usage]
