10BASE2 Components
10BASE2 components include a T-connector, a cable
terminator, and the proper lengths of 10BASE2 coax cable.
The 10BASE2 T-connector (Figure 3-1) attaches to the
access point’s 10BASE2 port, and connects the access point
to the middle or end of 10BASE2 cable.
Figure 3-1
T-Connector
A cable terminator (Figure 3-2) attaches to the
T-connector. It is required for a device connected to the end
of 10BASE2 cable. The terminator properly terminates the
network cable to maintain proper impedance. Proper
termination is necessary for reliable Ethernet operation.

Cable Terminator
10BASE-T Component
10BASE-T coax cable is normally used to connect the
access point to an Ethernet hub. The cable has an RJ45
plug on each end (Figure 3-3).
