12.2.2 10Base2 systems<br />

The other type of coaxial cable Ethernet networks is 10Base2 <strong>and</strong> is often referred to<br />

as ‘Thinnet’ or sometimes ‘thinwire Ethernet’. It uses type RG-58 A/U or C/U with a<br />

50 ohm characteristic impedance <strong>and</strong> of 5 mm diameter.The cable is normally connected<br />

to the NICs in the nodes by means of a BNC T-piece connector, <strong>and</strong> represents a daisy<br />

chain approach to cabling.<br />

Connectivity requirements include:<br />

• It must be terminated at each end with a 50 ohm terminator<br />

• The maximum length of a cable segment is 185 meters <strong>and</strong> NOT 200 meters<br />

• No more than 30 transceivers can be connected to any one segment<br />

• There must be a minimum spacing of 0.5 meters between nodes<br />

• It may not be used as a link segment between two ‘Thicknet’ segments<br />

• The minimum bend radius is 5 cm<br />

The physical layout of a 10Base2 Ethernet segment is shown in Figure 12.4.
