Thicknet |
Denotes a coaxial cable type (similar to RG-8) that is
commonly used with Ethernet (10Base-5) backbones.
Originally, thicknet cabling was the only cabling type
used with Ethernet, but it was replaced as backbone
cabling by optical fiber cabling. Thicknet cable has an
impedance of 50 ohms and is commonly about 0.4 inches
in diameter.
