10BASE2 Components

10BASE2 components include a T-connector, a cable

terminator, and the proper lengths of 10BASE2 coax cable.

The 10BASE2 T-connector (Figure 3-1) attaches to the

access point’s 10BASE2 port, and connects the access point

to the middle or end of 10BASE2 cable.

T-Connector

A cable terminator (Figure 3-2) attaches to the

T-connector. It is required for a device connected to the end

of 10BASE2 cable. The terminator properly terminates the

network cable to maintain proper impedance. Proper

termination is necessary for reliable Ethernet operation.

Cable Terminator

10BASE-T Component

10BASE-T coax cable is normally used to connect the

access point to an Ethernet hub. The cable has an RJ45

plug on each end (Figure 3-3).
