10Base5: A specification for thick Ethernet, a networking standard that also operates at a data transfer rate of 10 Mbps but uses thicker, more rigid coaxial cables that can transmit data over a maximum distance of 500 meters. The name ’10Base5′ is derived from its 10 Mbps speed, baseband transmission, and 500-meter cable limit. Due to its ability to handle greater distances, it’s often used in larger, more sprawling network setups.
