1 - 2 ONline 17-Slot System Concentrator Installation and Operation Guide
Figure 1-1 shows a model system that includes each of th ese cab le t ypes. I n
this diagram, an ONline Eth ernet Repeater Module is con nected to a
10BASE5 segment via an AUI cable and a transceiver. Also shown is the
physical connection between an ONline Ethernet Fiber Module and a
10BASE2 segment, via a fiber cable, fiber media access uni t, and IEEE
repeater. Unshielded and shielded twisted pair connections to-the-desk ar e
