Greetings: We run a hobby ethernet LAN in our home with four machines
connected via 10Base2, BNC coax, cabling.. It works fine but we're
looking ahead when UTP will be "standard" as we see no new MBs
without the RJ45, cat 3-5 cable, sockets.. We're not interested in
any but the 10mbs speed..
The query is: During the transition, especially since one of the
machines is 25 feet from the other 3 and the coax cable already built
in the walls -- we wonder if we could connect using both UTP and BNC?
We note that hubs are available; typically 8 UTP and 1 BNC but it
sounds like the BNC is only for linking extra hubs....
I can't seem to find a definative answer as to whether we could use
the same hub for; typically -- 3 UTP cables and 1 coax cable...
TIA and cheers,
Hi, Hal:
I believe the definative answer = yes.
I had a home LAN with a few thinnet clients and a few 10base2 clients
on a hub with (8) 10base2 and one BNC connector.
