thick/thinnet ->10baseT adapter

You're looking for a transciever. They're cheap.

Some 10BASE-T hubs have a thin Ethernet port built in (haven't seen one in a while).


Good Luck

Trying to go from Coaxial (Thin ethernet) to Cat5 is only possible via a transceiver. I wouldnt know where to begin building one from scratch... Some hubs have a build in transceiver which saves a lot of hassle.

[edit] haha, I posted this before I saw Scottmac's reply... He beat me by a minute 🙁

Danger Will Robinson. Danger! 🙂

You really need a repeater (hub) to go from 10 base 2/5 to 10 base T.
The tranceivers are not enough. An AUI crossover to connect them was not an option.
The tranceiver had a transmit pair, a receive pair, a colision pair, and +12 and ground.
At a minimum, crossing xmit and rcv, and rigging +12 would be required. Never heard of anyone trying it, however.

I have one hidden under the floor of the lab, if you are feeling nostalgic. 🙂
It is really the easy way to do this.

I have a 3com hub with that. I got it years ago when I first networked my computers and for some bizarre reason, that way was cheaper. Its just like a big coaxial cable like the cable tv cable that runs from computer to computer. The computers on the end will need special caps. Each network card has a coaxial type push-twist connector. But you will need to buy a T junction for each connection anyway. so each network card has a T junction on it, and the ones in the middle will have coax cable on each end of the T but the comps on the end will have coax on one side, and the end cap/resistor on the other. Is this for a school project? Otherwise I wouldnt recommend it.
