    Types of Coaxial Cable

    There are two main types of coaxial cable used in older Ethernet networks: Thick cable was rigid and 1.27cm thick, supporting speeds of 10Mbps up to 500m. Thin cable was flexible and 0.64cm thick, commonly used for any installation up to 185m using BNC connectors. Both cable types supported 10Mbps transmission speeds and were connected using devices like transceivers, taps, or directly to network interface cards.

    Types of Coaxial Cable

    Thick (ThickNet) cable

    It is a rigid cable at about 1.27 centimeters in diameter


    It has a transmission speed of 10Mbps
    Its maximum cable length is 500 meters
    It is used to directly connect computers on older networks but eventually
    became popular in backbone implementations between LANs
    It uses transceiver MAU(Medium Attachment Unit converts signals on an
    Ethernet cable to and from Attachment Unit Interface AUI signals)
    Thicknet Connection
    Thicknet cable is
    connected to a
    network using a device
    called a transceiver.
    This device includes a
    piece of equipment
    that actually pierces
    the cable to connect to
    it.
    Attachment Unit Interference (AUI)
    The AUI (attachment unit interface) is the 15-pin physical connector
    interface between a computer's network interface card (NIC) and
    an Ethernet cable. On 10Base-5 ("thicknet") Ethernet, a short cable is
    used to connect the AUI on the computer with a transceiver on the
    main cable. In 10Base-2 or "thinnet" Ethernet networks, the NIC
    connects directly to the Ethernet coaxial cable at the back of the
    computer.
    Intrusive Tap

    A network tap is an external monitoring device that mirrors the traffic


    that passes between two network nodes. A tap (test access point) is a
    hardware device inserted at a specific point in the network to monitor
    data.
    Vampire Tap
    A vampire tap is a connection to a coaxial cable in which a hole is
    drilled through the outer shield of the cable so that a clamp can be
    connected to the inner conductor of the cable. Avampire tap is used
    to connect each device to Thicknet coaxial cable in the bus topology
    of an Ethernet 10BASE-T local area network.
    Thin (ThinNet) Cable

    It is a flexible coaxial cable at about 0.64 centimeters thick


    It was usually the media of choice for almost any type of network installation
    It uses BNC connector that is attached to NIC
    It has also a transmission speed of 10 Mbps
    Its maximum cable length is 185 meters
    10BASE2 (also known as cheapernet, thin Ethernet, thinnet, and thinwire) is a
    variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxialcable, terminated with BNC
    connectors.
    BNC Connector
    The BNC (Bayonet NeillConcelman) connector is a miniature quick
    connect/disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial cable.
    It features two bayonet lugs on the female connector; mating is fully
    achieved with a quarter turn of the coupling nut
