What connection hardware is used with thinnet coaxial cable?
Thinnet utilizes the following connection hardware referred to as �BNC� components:
- Terminator � a resister used to absorb the signal once it reaches the end of the bus; connects to a T- or barrel connector; RG-58 requires a 50-ohm terminator; RG-62 requires a 75-ohm terminator.
- Cable Connector � the interface at the end of the cable that is used to connect to a barrel or T-connector
- T-Connector � used to connect to a NIC and another cable connector or a terminator (you cannot connect directly to a NIC with a cable connector; you must use a T-connector)
- Barrel Connector � used to splice to segments of cable together or attach a terminator at the end of the cable
