The BNC (British Naval Connector) is a standardized connector used with Thinnet and coaxial cable.
It is used to connect a computer to a coaxial cable in a 10BASE-T Ethernet network. The 10BASE-2 is a 10 MHz baseband cable network extending up to 180 meters the 2 is the rounding up to 200 meters without using a repeater.
The wire in this type of Ethernet is a thin 50-ohm, base-band coaxial cable.
The BNC connector is simpler to use and less expensive than other types of coaxial connectors.
Some of the important components in the BNC family are:
The BNC cable connector: It is either soldered or crimped to the end of a cable.
The BNC T connector: It joins the network interface card in the computer to the network cable.
The BNC barrel connector: It is used to join two lengths of thinnet cable to make one longer length.
The BNC terminator: It closes each end of the bus cable to absorb unwanted signals. Without BNC terminators, a bus network will not function.
