10Base2?An Ethernet term meaning a maximum transfer rate of 10 Megabits per second that uses baseband signaling, with a coxial cable segment length of 185 meters and this is thinnet cable.

10Base5?An Ethernet term meaning a maximum transfer rate of 10 Megabits per second that uses baseband signaling, with not exceeding 500 meters per segment,use in coxial cable this is thicknet cable.

10BaseT?An Ethernet term meaning a maximum transfer rate of 10 Megabits per second that uses baseband signaling and twisted pair cabling.and distance doesnot exceed more than 100 meters.
