1000BASE-KX

1000BASE-KX is the IEEE* 802.3ap electrical specification for transmission of 

1 Gb/s Ethernet over the backplane.

1000BASE-T

1000BASE-T is the specification for 1 Gb/s Ethernet over category 5e twisted pair cables as defined 

in IEEE 802.3 clause 40.

2500BASE-X

The 2500BASE-X is link mode is used for Ethernet-over-backplane implementations. The 2500BASE-

X link mode is a special, enhanced speed mode of the 1000BASE-X link mode.

2.5 GbE

The 2.5-GbE link mode is a special enhanced-speed mode of the 1000BASE-X link mode. This mode 

should not be confused with third-party solutions being offered in the marketplace today. Contact 

the local Intel representative for further information on the scope of this feature.

Crosstalk

The reception on a victim network of a signal imposed by aggressor network(s) through inductive 

and capacitive coupling between the networks.
Backward Crosstalk – Coupling that creates a signal in a victim network that travels in the opposite 

direction as the aggressor signal.
Forward Crosstalk – Coupling that creates a signal in a victim network that travels in the same 

direction as the aggressor signal.
Even Mode Crosstalk – Coupling from a signal or multiple aggressors when all the aggressors switch 

in the same direction that the victim is switching.
Odd Mode Crosstalk – Coupling from a signal or multiple aggressors when all the aggressors switch 

in the opposite direction that the victim is switching.
