Thin E t h e m e t Cable a n d
Components
Ihe following infonnation pertains to
the Eliteie and Eliteie Combo adap-
ters,
BNC'T' connector - Used to attach
the Ethernet adapter to thin Ethernet
cable:
Cable terminator - A terminator with
50 ohm nominal impedance must be
installed at each end of every cable
segment, A thin Ethernet temninator
has a BNC coaxial connector. Coaxial
50 ohm BNC plug terminator Anixter
part number is 073989.
"T" connector cover - A plastic "clam-
shell" cover which insulates the BNC
" I " connector from electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD). AMP part number is
221586-1.
Thin Ethernet cahlfi (RG58 A/U or C/U
coaxial cable) - Stranded tinned cop-
per, 50 ohm nominal impedance, for
use with BNC-type coaxial connec-
tors. The Beiden part numbers for
cable only are 9907 and 89907
(plenum rated).
Note: Coaxial cable designated RG58
U is similar in appearance to RG58
A/U cable but does not comply with
the IEEE thin Ethernet standard.
Thick E t h e m e t Cable a n d
Components
The following information pertains to
the Eliteiei and Eliteie Combo
adapters.
AUI drop-cable - The interface cable
between the Ethemet adapter and a
MAU attached to the trunk coaxial
cable or other thick Ethemet medium.
The drop-cable has a 15-pin AUI con-
nector at each end and may be up to
50 meters in length. Ihe Beiden part
numbers for cable only are 9901 and
89901 (plenum rated).
Cable tenninator - A terminating
resistor with 50 ohm nominal im-
pedance must be installed at each
end of every trunk coaxial cable seg-
ment. A thick Ethernet terminator has
