10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter
1
Introduction
Product Summary & Benefits:
The 10Base-T to 10Base-2 Media Converter was specifically
designed to offer the network designer the tools for migration from
UTP based Ethernet to Coaxial based Ethernet. Now migration or
expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum
cost and complexity.
The converter is completely transparent to the network so the
network performs exactly the way it did before - only now it can
migrate both UTP and Coaxial mediums.
Expands the Size of an Existing Network
Provides UTP/Coaxial connectivity to Ethernet segments allowing
for even further networking expansion between extended nodes.
Allows for the quick and easy addition of Coaxial segments to
existing 10Base-T networks.
Enhances Networking Distances
Connecting this Converter to UTP segments can further extend
distances up to maximum 185 meters beyond the converter for a
total segment length of 285 meters. The Converter can be
connected to an additional Fiber converter for even longer
distances.
Cabling Flexibility
Allows network managers to put fiber cabling anywhere within a
network without retrofitting the arrangement of the Ethernet
network. Compact location or used in wall mount installation.
Several converters can be simultaneously installed by using a 19”
Rack-mount Chassis.

10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter
Example 1
The Converter allows the conversion from 10Base-T UTP to
10Base-2 Coaxial cable. In this configuration, equipment can be
added to existing 10Base-T networks. Distances of up to 185
meters can be achieved.

Install Your Converter
10Base-T Connection
1. Make sure that the length for straight through twisted pair cable
between 10Base-T device (hub or switch) and converter is no
longer than 100 meters.
2. Connect one end of twisted pair cable to RJ-45 jack on the
converter and the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
jack
on the 10Base-T device.
100 Mtr.
UTP
10Base-2 Connection
1. Connect one end of a coaxial cable segment
to
the
converter. The other end of the of the cable can be connected
directly to a 10Base-2 device or multiple
devices can tap
into the cable length.
