[comp.dcom.lans] Ethernet Cable voltages

Hi...could someone tell me what the nominal voltages are for an ethernet
backbone cable?  I'm looking for the high, low, and idle state voltage
levels.


Thanks alot...

Ethernet runs at 2V peak-peak.  Idle is 0 volts.  The Ethernets I've scoped
actually have the voltage swing from 0 to -2 volts, though I believe some
tranceivers have a voltage swing from +1 to -1 volts.
