Ethernet: Thick, thin, or UTP?
Thick Ethernet (10Base-5) was the original IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard. It is called thick or thicknet because its cable consisted of RG-8U coaxial cable similar to that used for cable TV.
Thin Ethernet (10Base-2) was the second IEEE Ethernet standard. It is often called thin or thinnet because it used the thinner RG-58 A/U coaxial cable at the same data rate.
10Base-T Ethernet, the most common form today, uses unshielded twisted-pair, or UTP, cable in a star topology.
