About the BNC Hub/6
The Asanté™ BNC Hub/6 is a hardware device that lets you create high-per-
formance Ethernet networks over thin coaxial cable. The BNC Hub/6 is a
low-cost, easy to use device that does not require complicated network man-
agement and is best suited to build small to medium sized networks. Asanté

10BASE-2 is a standard defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
