Keeping this in view, what do you mean by thinnet and Thicknet?

Thicknet and Thinnet (sometimes called ThickWire and ThinWire) are commonly used terms for the larger and smaller size of coaxial cable used in Ethernet local area networks. Thicknet, also known as Thickwire, is 0.4 inches in diameter and has 50 ohms of electromagnetic impedance.

Subsequently, question is, what does 10base5 mean? 10Base5 refers to a standard for Ethernet network technologies that use a thicker version of coaxial cables. It has the capability to transmit data at speed of 10Mbps up to 500 meters using baseband transmission. 10Base5 is also known as Thicknet, ThickWire, thick Ethernet and thick coaxial Ethernet.

Similarly, you may ask, what does 10base2 mean?

10BASE2 (also known as cheapernet, thin Ethernet, thinnet, and thinwire) is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors to build a local area network.

What is Thicknet cable?

10BASE5 (also known as thick Ethernet or thicknet) was the first commercially available variant of Ethernet. 10BASE5 uses a thick and stiff coaxial cable up to 500 metres (1,600 ft) in length.
