SCAN-LAN 80 CABLE SCANNER
10BASE2
— An IEEE standard for Thin Coax
Ethernet networks; specifies 10-Mbps transmission,
baseband signaling, 185 meters per coax segment.
Also known as ThinNet or Cheapernet.
10BASE-T
— An IEEE standard for unshielded
twisted-pair Ethernet networks; specifies 10-Mbps
transmission, baseband signaling, unshielded twisted-
pair cable. Maximum allowable cable length is 100
meters.
Anomaly
— An impedance mismatch causing an
undesired signal reflection on a transmission cable.
Inverted Anomaly
— A reflection caused by a lower-
impedance mismatch, such as a short.
Non-inverted Anomaly
— A reflection caused by a
higher-impedance mismatch, such as an open.
Attenuation
— A reduction in the strength of a
signal, the opposite of gain; expressed in dB.
BNC
— A coaxial cable connector, used with
10BASE-T Ethernet networks.
