10base2 is again 10Mbs, perhaps you're thinking of Cat2 cable, it's good to 4Mbs
For the record
10base2 RG58 (thin-ax) cable- max segment length = 180 meters
Cat1 UTP (telephone cable)
Cat2 UTP 4Mbs
Cat3 UTP (ethernet) Can suporrt 16Mbs but used fo r10Mbs - max segment length =
100 meters
Cat4 UTP Can support 20Mbs - max segment length = 100 meters
Cat5 UTP 100Mbs - max segment length = 100 meters (according to one book and 50
meters according to another)
