Yep, that's 10-base-2, also called "cheapernet" The "twist on" is a connector called a BNC.

There a variety that uses thicker co-ax called 10-base-5 or "thicknet", the cable didn't attach direct to the NIC though, it used drop cables from the network card to the main co-ax. These drop cables linked to the main cable with "vampire taps".

By the way, the impedence of the cabling and hence the value of terminators required was 50 ohms.

BTW I only asked as I'm old enough to remember 10base-2 and, mind you I also remember token ring ;)

Token ring now there's a blast from the past. It was the network Nynex used for all of its offices in the UK.

Is it really? I only saw a picture of the connector. What parts are needed to make that connector up then?

If you see an open cab, there's usually a couple left on top of the tap plate. Then, if it's not to much trouble, could you please ring 151 and report the cab has open.

Everyone's a winner.

They are available on ebay:- http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_n...ohm+terminator

As mentioned earlier, a 4 port splitter will attenuate the signal more than a 2 port splitter. If you intend to only use 2 ports anyway, why not buy a 2 port one. You will find them on eBay, or Maplin sell them for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£4.99. (code QQ69A)
