10BASE2 (also known as cheapernet, [1] thin Ethernet, thinnet, and thinwire) is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors to build a local area network. During the mid to late 1980s, this was the dominant 10 Mbit/s Ethernet standard.
10BASE5 (also known as thick Ethernet or thicknet) was the first commercially available variant of Ethernet. The technology was standardized in 1982 [ 1 ] as IEEE 802.3 . 10BASE5 uses a thick and stiff coaxial cable [ 2 ] up to 500 meters (1,600 ft) in length.
The first Ethernet standard, known as 10BASE5 (ThickNet) in the family of IEEE 802.3, specified baseband operation over 50 ohm coaxial cable, which remained the principal medium into the 1980s, when 10BASE2 (ThinNet) coax replaced it in deployments in the 1980s; both being replaced in the 1990s when thinner, cheaper twisted pair cabling came to dominate the market.
The original 2.94 Mbit/s Ethernet implementation had eight-bit addresses and other differences in frame format. [9] 10BASE5: 802.3-1985 (8) AUI, N, vampire tap: 500 m RG-8/U Original standard uses a single coaxial cable in which a connection is made by tapping into the single cable, drilling in to make contact with the core and the screen.
Through the first half of the 1980s, Ethernet's 10BASE5 implementation used a coaxial cable 0.375 inches (9.5 mm) in diameter, later called thick Ethernet or thicknet. Its successor, 10BASE2, called thin Ethernet or thinnet, used the RG-58 coaxial cable. The emphasis was on making installation of the cable easier and less costly.

A 100BASE-TX transmitter sends three differential voltages, +1 V, 0 V, or −1 V. [15] Unlike earlier Ethernet standards using broadband and coaxial cable, such as 10BASE5 (thicknet) and 10BASE2 (thinnet), 10BASE-T does not specify the exact type of wiring to be used but instead specifies certain characteristics that a cable must meet. This was ...
