10BASE2 Components

10BASE2 components include a T-connector, a cable terminator, and the proper lengths of 10BASE2 coax cable. The 10BASE2 T-connector(Figure 3-1) attaches to the access point’s 10BASE2 port, and connects the access point to the middle or end of 10BASE2 cable.

Figure 3-1

T-Connector

A cable terminator (Figure 3-2) attaches to the T-connector. It is required for a device connected to the end of 10BASE2 cable. The terminator properly terminates the network cable to maintain proper impedance. Proper termination is necessary for reliable Ethernet operation.

Cable Terminator

10BASE-T Component

10BASE-T coax cable is normally used to connect the access point to an Ethernet hub. The cable has an RJ45 plug on each end (Figure 3-3).
