10BASE2 (also known as cheapernet, thin ethernet, thinnet or thinwire) is a variant of
Ethernet that uses thin
coaxial cable (
RG-58 or similar, as opposed to the thicker
RG-8 cable used in
10BASE5 networks), terminated with
BNC connectors. For many years this was the dominant 10 Mbit/s Ethernet standard, but due to the immense demand for high speed networking, the low cost of
Category 5 Ethernet cable, and the popularity of
802.11 wireless networks, both 10BASE2 and 10BASE5 have become almost
obsolete.
