Item Description
Thick-Ethernet segments Thick-Ethernet cable can be used in segments
up to 500 metres long, and can have a maximum
of 100 transceivers connected to it.
Neighbouring transceivers must be separated
by at least 2.5 metres of cable.
Typically, a thick-Ethernet network is composed
of a main segment or spine, with additional
segments or ribs attached to the spine through
signal repeaters, bridges or routers.
N-series terminator A terminator must be connected to the thick-
Ethernet cable at each endpoint of the network.
Grounded terminator It is recommended that the terminator at one
end of the network is a grounded terminator.
The grounded terminator has a grounding wire
connected to it.
N-series barrel connector A barrel connector can be used to join two
pieces of thick-Ethernet cable.
