FIRST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE VARIANT OF ETHERNET
Thicknet; 10base5; 10BASE-5; Yellow cable; ThickNet; 10Base5; 10Base-5; Thick Ethernet

10base5         
<networking> An Ethernet network cabling specification operating at ten Mbps, "baseband" (as opposed to {radio frequency}), and with a maximum single cable length of 500 metres. This is normally carried on RG8 cable. Compare 10base2, 10baseT. (2002-06-17)

10BASE5

10BASE5 (also known as thick Ethernet or thicknet) was the first commercially available variant of Ethernet. The technology was standardized in 1982 as IEEE 802.3. 10BASE5 uses a thick and stiff coaxial cable up to 500 meters (1,600 ft) in length. Up to 100 stations can be connected to the cable using vampire taps and share a single collision domain with 10 Mbit/s of bandwidth shared among them. The system is difficult to install and maintain.

10BASE5 was superseded by much cheaper and more convenient alternatives: first by 10BASE2 based on a thinner coaxial cable (1985), and then, once Ethernet over twisted pair was developed, by 10BASE-T (1990) and its successors 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T. In 2003, the IEEE 802.3 working group deprecated 10BASE5 for new installations.
