Cabling for 10Base2 Networks



Cabling for 10Base2 Networks

To connect any port of the Quad-B2 PeerMaster adapter to a 10Base2 thin Ethernet cable segment  (A thin Ethernet cable segment is the lenght of the cable between the repeaters.), do the following.

NOTE:
  1.  Avoid severe bending of the cable.
  2.  Do not exceed 185 meters (600 feet) of interconnection without using a  signal repeater to attach another network segment.
  3.  Do not attach more than one Quad-B2 PeerMaster 10Base2 port to the same 10Base2 network segment.

  1.  Attach a bayonet connector (BNC) T-connector to the BNC network port at the rear of the computer.
  2.  Attach the end of the coaxial cable to an open end of the T-connector.
  3.  Attach the other end of the cable to an open end of the T-connector at the rear of the next  workstation in which a 10Base2 is installed, then, continue making connections to the rest of the workstations.
  4.  Attach a 50-ohm cable terminator at each end of every segment.
