Connecting to Thin Coaxial Cable Ethernet
Connecting to Thin Coaxial Cable
Ethernet
Do the following steps to connect a thin Ethernet configuration.
1
According to the IEEE 802.3 rules, a thin Ethernet segment sup-
ports 30 connections over a distance of 185 meters (607 feet).
2
A BNC T-connector is used to connect the thin Ethernet cable.
This is a simple way to connect multiple hubs together to form a
large network.
Other workstations with thin Ethernet adapters can also connect
to the cable segment.
3
Make sure both ends of the thin Ethernet segment are terminated
by a 50
Ω
terminator and are grounded.
Only one end can be grounded and this must be according to the
IEEE specification
4
Connect the T-connector onto the BNC connector and twist the
T-connector sleeve to lock the connection, as shown in
Figure 2-3.
