Editing 100BaseVG (section)

{{Short description|Ethernet variant}}

'''100BaseVG''' is a 100&nbsp;Mbit/s [[Ethernet]] standard specified to run over four pairs of [[Category 3 cable]] (cable also known as voice grade, hence the "VG"). It is also called '''100VG-AnyLAN''' because it was defined to carry both Ethernet and [[Token Ring]] frame types.

100BaseVG was originally proposed by [[Hewlett-Packard]], ratified by the [[IEEE]] in 1995 and was practically extinct by 1998.  In 2001 [[IEEE]] recorded the status of its 100BaseVG standard as being a "Withdrawn Standard" (defined as "A standard which is no longer maintained and which may contain significant obsolete or erroneous information.")<ref>{{cite web
