an RJ45 Connector
10BASE2 RG58/BNC Cabling
In addition to an RJ45 connector, the AT-1500BT Plug and Play
adapter has a BNC connector for 10BASE2 standard thin
Ethernet RG58 coaxial cable. The maximum segment length is
185 meters (606 ft.), and the minimum length between nodes is 0.5
meters (1.64 ft.). The coaxial cable should be connected to the
adapter card via a T-connector and must be terminated with a 50
Ω
BNC terminator if the computer is at the end of a network
segment. See Figure 5. The connection must
not
be made as in
