Re: [Dorset] Coax 10Base-2
Hi James, two pieces of a special kind that plugged into a linear 4 contact slot in the wall (so old that Google cannot find a picture of it). Last bit you said sounds like an MAU for token ring rather than 10BASET? It does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.5 has a picture of IBM's hermaphroditic connector and an eight-port MAU.

[Dorset] Coax 10Base-2
Hi, I was looking for a bit of LAN cable today and found some coax that I doubt that I will ever need again. Does anybody have a use for it? I can bring it along Tuesday if anyone wants it. It's a couple of shortish pieces, probably a couple of metres long, and two pieces of a special kind that plugged into a linear 4 contact slot in the wall (so old that Google cannot find a picture of it).

Re: [Dorset] Coax 10Base-2
If it is 50Ω coax with BNC connectors then is is still useful for amateur (and other) radio purposes. However I won't be at the meeting... -- Andrew.
