10BASE2 (also known as cheapernet, [1] thin Ethernet, thinnet, and thinwire) is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors to build a local area network. During the mid to late 1980s, this was the dominant 10 Mbit/s Ethernet standard.

Thicknet (10BASE5) and Thinnet (10BASE2) represent early standards of coaxial cabling, each with unique characteristics that impact installation, cost, and performance. Ethernet based LANs using thick cable for inter-connection is referred as Thicknet.

Thinnet is the thin coaxial cabling used for 10Base2 installations of Ethernet networking. Thinnet cabling is RG-58 coaxial cabling that is 3/16 inch in diameter and has an impedance of 50 ohms. Thinnet uses BNC connectors to connect cable segments, computers, and concentrators (hubs).

2019年9月18日 · 10Base2 is a type of standard for implementing Ethernet networks. 10Base2 is sometimes referred to as thinnet (or “thin coax”) because it uses thin coaxial cabling for connecting stations to form a network. 10Base2 supports a maximum bandwidth of 10 Mbps, but in actual networks, the presence of collisions reduces this to more like 4 to 6 Mbps.

2025年1月18日 · Thicknet was the original Ethernet wiring, but Thinnet, cheaper and easier to install, was the more commonly used Ethernet wire. While Thicknet continues to be used for backbone wiring, using coaxial cable for LAN connection is obsolete and is now replaced by unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling.

Thicknet, also known as Thick Ethernet or 10Base5, and Thinnet, also known as Thin Ethernet or 10Base2, are obsolete Ethernet networking technologies.

2019年7月30日 · Thin Ethernet, popularly known as cheapernet or thinnet, is among the family of Ethernet standards that uses thinner coaxial cable as a transmission media. It is technically known as 10-BASE-2.
