Cyberdyne Systems Model 101
From Terminator Wiki
The Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 is referring to "the mould around the metal endoskeleton (the skin), and in this case, 101 refers to mould number 101" [1]. James Cameron states that "...the model 101s all look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a 102 looking like someone else...".[2]. It is also sometimes called CSM-101 or simply Model-101.

Multiple Histories
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
The Model 101 skin covering grown for the cybernetic organisms was based upon U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant William Candy from 2004.[3] Volunteering to give his likeness to future military robotics, Sergeant Candy's head was laser scanned by Cyber Research Systems (previously known as Cyberdyne), the resultant 3-Dimensional representation of his face being stored for future use. When it came to creating the human tissue model for T-800 Series, Skynet used this stored information, along with the data from various other human head scans, to model the Infiltrator faces on. The Model 101 has been used at least on the T-800 and T-850.
T2:Infiltrator
The Model 101 skin covering grown for the cybernetic organisms was based upon Sector Agent Dieter von Rossbach from government files that pre-date 2001.[4] As a government agent, numerous databases later possessed by Skynet were available to provide ample representation of many physical appearances. When it came to creating the human tissue model for T-800 Series, Skynet used this stored information, along with the data from various other resources, to model the Infiltrator faces on as the closest physical match to contain the terminator endoskeleton. The Model 101 has been used at least on the T-800 as well as the numerous "contemporary" terminators created in the present by Serena Burns in her Secret terminator lab.
Naming confusion
In The Terminator, Kyle refer the Terminator as a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the same is displayed inside the Terminator while he reboots. In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines the Terminator refer itself as a T-101.
While the T2 Extreme Edition DVD refer it as series 800 or a T-800, the Terminator 3: Rise of the Machine's DVD extras refer to it as 850 series Model 101, T-850 and a T-101.
