10BASE-2, also known as Thinwire Ethernet WAN, is a type of local area network (LAN) technology used to connect computers and other devices. It was developed in the late 1980s and is still widely used today for connecting small networks with up to 30 nodes. 10BASE-2 utilizes coaxial cable that can support data rates of up to 10 Mbps over distances of 185 meters or less. This makes it an ideal solution for businesses that need low cost networking solutions but don’t require large amounts of bandwidth or long distance connections.
The primary benefit of using 10BASE-2 is its simplicity; it requires minimal hardware setup compared to other LAN technologies such as Token Ring or Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). Additionally, since the cables are thin they are easily hidden behind walls without taking up much space making them perfect for offices where aesthetics matter more than speed and capacity requirements do. Furthermore, due to its lower data rate requirements compared with modern standards like Gigabit Ethernet, there’s no need for expensive switches which helps keep costs down even further when deploying this technology on a budget conscious network system .
In short, while most companies have moved away from using Thinwire Ethernet WAN in favor newer technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet, there are still situations where this older standard may be appropriate. For example, if you only need basic connectivity between two locations at speeds below 100Mbps then utilizing existing coaxial cabling already present might make sense economically speaking. In addition, because installation time tends be quite fast due its relative simplicity then setting up a new connection quickly could save your business money by reducing downtime caused by waiting on technicians who would otherwise have been needed install more complicated systems.
