Everything about 10BASE5

First commercially available variant of Ethernet

10BASE5 is a version of Ethernet providing 10 Mbit/s bandwidth over a thick coaxial cable having a maximum length of 500 m (1,600 ft). It was the first commercially available version of Ethernet. The technology was standardized first by Ecma International in early 1982 based on an IEEE draft standard, then by IEEE in 1983 as IEEE 802.3. Up to 100 stations can be connected to the cable in a single collision domain. The standard specifies CSMA/CD to resolve collisions. Wikipedia →
