August 1994
2.5.1 C a b l e s and Connectors
Thin Ethernet cable is 0.2-inch RG-58A/U 50 ohm coaxial cable. I t is available from many industry
suppliers. Standard BNC connector hardware is used for all connections in a thin-Ethernet cable
network (refer to Figure 2-1). Among the hardware used are:
Connector jack
- The optional interface transition cable available for the Ethernet includes a
BNC connector jack for attachment to the thin cable.
Connector plug
-
The BNC
connector plugs, attached to both ends of the thin Ethernet cable
lengths, are used to connect the cable to T-connectors, barrel connectors, other hardware, and
to the Ethernet transition cable, and other Ethernet nodes.
T
-connector
- A BNC T-connector is used to connect two lengths of thin Ethernet cable and
the interface transition cable (of the Ethernet) to the thin cable segment.
•
B a r r e l connector
- A
BNC
barrel connector is used to connect two cable segments when a T-
connector is not appropriate, for example, when two short pieces of cable need to be joined
but an interface transition cable is not required.
•
Te r m i n a t o r s
- 50 ohm BNC terminators are required at each end of the cable. Termination
requirements are discussed later in this section.
2.5.2 Configuration Rules
Based on the terms defined earlier, the following rules apply to thin-cable Ethernet networks:
• M a x i m u m length of the trunk segment: 607 feet (185 meters)
• M a x i m u m number of trunk segments: 5
• M a x i m u m network trunk cable length: 3,035 feet (925 meters)
• M a x i m u m number of nodes connected to one trunk segment: 30 (Repeaters count as one node
on both trunk segments to which they are attached)
• M i n i m u m distance between T-connectors: 1.5 feet (0.5 meters)
