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.

What kind of wiring is commonly used in a bus topology?

A bus topology for a LAN will typically use coaxial cable, either 10Base5 (thicknet) or 10base2 (thin-net) copper wiring.


What is the max distance Ethernet for a coax media?

500m, for 10Base5 thicknet - probably no installations left. For 10base2 thinnet, it's around 185 m - maybe some that have not moved on to twisted-pair of some kind..


What Ethernet in IEEE designates thinnet as?

In the IEEE standards, Thinnet is designated as 10BASE2. This specification refers to a form of Ethernet that uses coaxial cable with a maximum segment length of 200 meters and supports data rates of 10 Mbps. Thinnet is known for its thinner, more flexible cable compared to the original thick coaxial Ethernet (10BASE5), which allows for easier installation in various environments.


What is 10Base2 also called?

10Base2 is also known as Thin Ethernet


What is the cable classification for 10base5 thickness coaxail?

10Base5 Ethernet cables use thick coaxial cable, also known as "thicknet." The cable classification for 10Base5 is RG-8 or RG-11.

What does 10Base2 mean?

For 10Base2, the 10 stands for 10 megabits per second, Base means baseband, and 2 equals 200 meters
