Ethernet is the most popular and considered the networking topology standard for most computer connections. There have been many kinds of Ethernet, but the most popular is 10/100Mbps running over copper twisted pair wires. 100Mbps Ethernet is also called 100baseT and Fast Ethernet.
Older Ethernet standards ran on COAX cable and were referred to as 10base2 Thin Ethernet and 10base5 Thick Ethernet. Some hubs still have a coax connector to bridge together twisted pair and Thin Ethernet networks.
10/100 is the connectivity speed.
10 : 10 Mega bytes per second
100 : 100 Mega bits per second

Connections:
Connections between 10/100 Ethernet adapters are made using cables that run to an Ethernet HUB or Switch. Hubs electrically connect your computers together and switches act like traffic cops making your network more efficient.
A local-area network (LAN) architecture, Ethernet was invented by Dr. Robert M. Metcalfe at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in cooperation with DEC and Intel in 1976. The IEEE standard was first published in 1985, and formally titled as "IEEE 802.3 Carrier Sense Multiple A ccess with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer specifications." The IEEE standard has since been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), making it the most prevalent

networking standard. Today, 10/100 M bps Ethernet is arguably the most popular LAN technology used to network enterprises, SOHOs and even homes. This gain in the Ethernet usage has been primarily because of its reputation for low cost, security, reliability, and transmission speed. Ethernet uses a bus or star topology and supports data transfer rates of 10 and 100 Mbps. The Ethernet specification specifies the physical and MAC (Media Access Control) layers. Ethernet uses the CSMA/CD access method to handle simultaneous demands
