10BASE2, or IEEE 802.3, is an early Ethernet Standard that makes use of industry-standard RG-58 coaxial communications cables connected to BNC T-connectors.

10BASE2 gets its identifier, assigned by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics engineers (IEEE), from the following characteristics: "10" means it has a maximum transmission speed of 10Mbps; "BASE" is shorthand for "Baseband Transmission" or "Baseband Ethernet," meaning that the medium only transmits Ethernet signals; and "2" refers to its maximum network segment length of 185 meters, rounded up to 200 meters.
