a type of coaxial cable used to connect nodes on an Ethernet network. The10 refers to the transfer rate used on standard Ethernet, 10 megabits per second. The base means that the network uses baseband communication rather than broadband communications,and the 2 stands for the maximumlength of cable segment, 185 meters (almost 200). This type of cable is also called “thin”Ethernet, because it is a smaller diameter cablethan the 10base5 cables. | Book Definitions Electrical Engineering Dictionary. Ed. Phillip A.
