Regardless, 10base2 uses [BNC] connectors almost exclusively for connecting to stations, terminators and other equipment.
10base2 can be used on the same network as [10BaseT] or [100BaseT]. Because 10base2 is at the physical layer, a hub or media converter is required to change the layer two (logical) to a new layer one (physical) Hence one may have a hub with [100BaseT] to your flash new machines, and a [10Base2] segment for older items like an Xterminal.
-10base2 is not recommended for use nowdays - [10BaseT]/[100BaseT] hubs are cheap and UnshieldedTwistedPair cable is not expensive either. However [10Base2] is very cheap (read that as "don't expect to pay anything for cable cos most places are throwing it out")

A [10Base2] segment is limited to a total length of 185 metres from terminator to terminator. You can have up to 100 stations with a minimum of 1 metre between stations, however the performance will degrade with additional stations.
