Paolo, You need a mini hub with 10Base2 and 10BaseT connections. A balun will not work because 10BastT is a 4-wire connection (T1, T2 R1, R2) whereas 10Base2 is a 2-wire connection. Also 10b2 supports daisy chain but 10bT is point-to-point.
What kinds of EMC problems are you having with 10b2? Emissions or immunity?

Anyone knows if this kind of box exists ? So far I came up with a perfect match, but for the impedance of the coax connector (75 ohms instead of 50 ohms). We need this in order to improve the EMC behavior of the 10b2 Ethernet that we have to live with (you bet it's a real damn pain in the neck EMC-wise !!!).
