Original Ethernet transceivers, such as those of 10BaseT, were based on simple line codes without signal processing and coding techniques. Consequently, dedicated (point-to-point) copper transmission media (twisted pair) needs to be installed. Using advanced signal-processing and -coding techniques provides dedicated twisted pair wiring more transmission capability and enables a home network to be built on a relatively low transmission quality in-house telephone wiring. The in-house wiring is usually of Category 3 cable quality or worse, sometimes without much twist. Furthermore, most in-house telephone wiring has a star daisy-chain topology.
