10Base2

Ethernet standard

• Transmission rate: 10 MBit/s
• Max. segment length: 185 m
• Medium: Coaxial cable RG-58
• Cable impedance: 50 Ohms
• Connection: BNC connector, T-pieces
• Min. station distance: 0.5 m
• Max. number of transceivers per segment: 30
• Topology: Bus

Other common designations for 10Base2 are Cheapernet or Thin Ethernet.
The start and end of a segment must be terminated with 50 Ohm resistors. No more than four repeaters may be used between two stations.
