Ethernet 10Base5

admin on October 17th, 2009

Ethernet with thick coaxial (coax) wire uses cable type RG08. Connectivity from the NIC travels through a transceiver cable to an external transceiver and finally through the thick coax cable. Due to signal degradation, a segment is limited to fewer than 500 meters, with a maximum of 100 stations per segment of 1,024 stations total.
