thicknet การใช้

• Maximum thicknet nodes are 100 on a segment.
• Unlike a thicknet, it uses a Bayonet Niell-Concelman ( BNC ) on each end to connect to computers.
• Thicknet coaxial cabling is used with Ethernet 10BASE5 networks, has a maximum cable length of 500 meters and transmission speeds of 10 Mbit / s.
• Through the first half of the 1980s, Ethernet's 10BASE5 implementation used a coaxial cable in diameter, later called " thick Ethernet " or " thicknet ".
• AUI connectors became rare beginning in the early 1990s when computers and hubs began to incorporate the MAU, particularly as the 10BASE-T standard became more common and use of 10BASE-5 ( thicknet ) and 10BASE-2 ( thinnet ) declined.
• Unlike earlier Ethernet standards using broadband and coaxial cable, such as 10BASE5 ( thicknet ) and 10BASE2 ( thinnet ), 10BASE-T does not specify the exact type of wiring to be used, but instead specifies certain characteristics that a cable must meet.
• An adapter containing a power supply to provide the required 12 volts was available from Apple to permit connection of standard AUI transceivers to an AAUI port-this facilitated direct connection to 10BASE-F ( fibre optic ) and 10BASE5 ( ThickNet ) Ethernet networks, for which AAUI transceivers were not available.
