10Base2 Medium Specification (細線 Ethernet)

10 Mbps, Manchester encoding.
To provide a lower-cost system for PC local networks.
Also called CheaperNet.
Use a thinner cable, BNC T-type connectors, no AUI cable and interface logic are required.
Easier to install and the electronics may be contained within the station.
Suffer greater attenuation and lower resistance.
Support fewer taps (32 taps) over a shorter distance (185m each segment).
10Base5 and 10Base2 segments can be connected by a repeater since that have the same data rate.
