Thicknet coaxial cable, also known as 10BASE5, supports a maximum speed of 10 Mbps. It was primarily used in early Ethernet networks and can transmit data over distances of up to 500 meters. However, it has largely been replaced by more modern networking technologies that offer higher speeds and greater flexibility.
IEEE designates Thicknet as 10BASE5 Ethernet. It is an early form of Ethernet that uses a thick coaxial cable to transmit data at a speed of 10 Mbps over a distance of up to 500 meters. Thicknet requires the use of repeaters to extend the network beyond its maximum length and employs a bus topology for network connections.
The speed of the coaxial cable is usually between 10 and 100 Mbps. The coaxial cable consists of a hollow outer cylindrical conductor that surrounds a single inner wire that is made of two conducting elements.

10BASE2 is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable. The 10 comes from the maximum transmission speed of 10 millions of bits per second, The BASE stands for baseband signaling, and the 2 supposedly refers to the maximum cable length of 200 meters.
rank the following from highest to lowest in data transmission speed twisted pair, coaxial cable, fiber-optic, microwave, and satellite
10 mbps
coaxial cable speed is slower than fiber optic cable. it is main disadvantage of coaxial cable
coaxial cable has a solid copper or copper-clad-steel centre conductor surrounded by a non-conductive dielectric insulating material. The dielectric is surrounded by foil shield/s and/or copper braid/s which form the outer conductor and also shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The outer conductor/shield is encased in a PVC jacket.
scattering, costs high than wireless communication, difficult to maintain,splicing should be perfectly taken care ,otherwise the loses increases in the optic fibres

The maximum speed that can be achieved using a coax cable for internet connectivity is typically around 1 Gbps (gigabit per second).
coax is 200 meter maximum ,if you want more than 200 meter(video transmission) you can even use cat 5 cable with video transmitter and receiver adapters and it will be the cheap and best way. futronicservices@gmail.com
