Yeah, I was shocked when I first read it, and then reread seeing no G. I'm not old enough to have liven when 10BASE-T was mainstream.

- the_only_law 4y agoIs that the one that used the nasty vampire taps, or am I thinking older.
- chrislund 4y agoThat was 10BASE5 aka thicknet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE5
- detaro 4y ago-T indicates "twisted pair". Vampire tap was 10BASE5 (later also called Thick-Ethernet, to contrast with 10Base2 "Thinnet" which used thinner coax and BNC T-pieces)
- bluGill 4y agoI never saw 10base5 coax, but I worked in a lab in the day with massive thick 15 pin cables everywhere (AUI?), and 4 port hubs (that is combine 4 computers into one uplink that I supposed eventually went to coax in the ceiling, though I only saw it go to yet another such hub. The office was 10baseT already, but the lab had a lot of older computers.

- pantalaimon 4y ago10BASE-T1 is becoming quite popular with industrial / sensor networks these days.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoLol these youngsters with their little plastic plugs. 10Base5 is where it's at. Or 10Base2 if you want to be cool. Intended as /s but I actually still have some stuff here that I need to use a 10BaseT AUI transceiver on :) I love old hardware.
- seany 4y agoI have a 10base-5 AUI on my desk. Makes an interesting conversation piece now and then.
- msgilligan 4y agoI’d you haven’t used a drill to attach a computer to a network, you can’t appreciate how easy things are these days…
- Bud 4y agoI remember when 10BASE-T was brand new and hilariously fast and radically better than the clumsy, bulky connectors and cables that had preceded it.
