Older Ethernet Standards • Do Not Use Hubs or Switches • Daisy-Chain Layouts • 10Base5 • 10 Mbps, Baseband, 500 meters per segment (daisy chain) • 10Base2 • 10 Mbps, Baseband, 185 meters per segment (daisy chain) • Less expensive than 10Base5 • Often called Cheapernet
Ethernet 10Base5 Mod C Drop Cable (Attachment Unit Interface or AUI) 15 wires NIC 15-pin AUI Connector N-Connector Trunk Cable Coaxial Cable 500 m maximum Transceiver (Medium Attachment Unit)
Ethernet 10Base5 Mod C 1. Sending NIC Transmits a bit 3. Each Transceiver Sends the bit to Its NIC 2. Transceiver Broadcasts the bit
Ethernet 10Base-5 • Up to 5 segments connected by repeaters • 2,500 meters maximum distance between farthest stations • Four repeaters maximum • No loops among repeaters Repeater Repeater Drop cable 500 m Maximum Segment of Trunk Cable
Ethernet 10Base2 (802.3a) • Cheaper Physical Layer Standard • NICs have twist-on BNC connector • T-connector attaches to NIC • T-connector has BNC connectors for cable runs attaching it to adjacent stations To next NIC To next NIC T-connector BNC NIC
Ethernet 10Base2 (802.3a) • Segments are thin coaxial cable • Run only between NICs • Daisy chain of NICs is a segment • Terminator at end of each segment • Up to 30 stations per segment • 5 segments (4 repeaters) maximum • 10Base2: 185 meters/segment Terminator NIC NIC NIC
