7-1 Ethernet
[1] 10BASE5 system
The basic configuration of a10BASE5 system consists of one coaxial cable, with a maximum length of
500 m, and nodes connected to this cable as shown below. Each node is connected to the coaxial cable
using a transceiver and a transceiver cable (AUI cable). Two types of transceivers are available: Single
port transceivers to connect a single transceiver cable (AUI cable), and multi-port transceivers to con-
nect more than one cable.
This basic configuration unit is referred to as "segment." A maximum of 100 nodes can exist in one
segment.
