10Base2

An IEEE standard for thin-wire Ethernet networks. It provides 10 megabits (10 million bits) transmission and baseband signaling, and it has a maximum length of 607 feet (185 meters) per coax segment. See also thin-wire Ethernet cable.

10BaseT

An IEEE standard for twisted-pair Ethernet networks. It provides 10 megabits (10 million bits) transmission and baseband signaling, and it is unshield- ed. See also twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
