10Base2 Cable Specifications
The physical characteristics of the 10Base2 cable must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3
10Base2 specifications.
Cable Characteristics:
Cable type:
Stranded Coaxial RG58 (ThinNet)
Impedance: 50
Ω
@ 10 MHz
Mutual Capacitance:
24 pF/ft ±20% @ 10 MHz
Maximum Cable Length
:
185 meters (610 feet)
Maximum number network connections:
30
Minimum distance between connections:
0.5 meters (1.6 feet)
Terminate 10Base2 cable at one end using a 50 ohm terminator and at the
other end using a 50 ohm terminator grounded to earth ground.
10BaseT Cable and Connector Specifications
The physical characteristics of the 10BaseT cable must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3
10BaseT specifications.
10BaseT Cable Characteristics:
Category 3 wire or better is required; category 5 wire is recommended. Either
shielded twisted pair (STP) or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) can be used. DO
NOT USE FLAT OR SILVER SATIN WIRE.
Category 3:
Gauge
24 to 22 AWG
Attenuation
28 dB/1000’ @ 10 MHz
Differential Characteristic Impedance
100
Ω
±10% @ 10 MHz
Category 5:
Gauge
24 to 22 AWG
Attenuation
20 dB/1000’ @ 10 MHz
Differential Characteristic Impedance
100
Ω
±10% @ 10 MHz
Maximum Cable Length:
100 meters (330 feet)
10BaseT Connector Characteristics:
The two active pairs in a 10BaseT network are pins 1 & 2 and pins 3 & 6. Use
only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white & white/blue, orange/white &
white/orange) for the active pins. 10BaseT cable for unlike devices (such as
hub to terminal device) must be configured as straight through; 10BaseT cable
for like devices (such as hub to hub or terminal device to terminal device) must
be configured as crossover.
