+10Base2 is a
co-axial bus-based physical cabling for Ethernet. In the OSI seven layer model, this is LAYER 1 - PHYSICAL.
10base2 is a naming structure where 10 represents the speed in megabits per second (Mbit/s), and 2 represents the physical lines in the structure. For example in 100baseT theres 100 Mbit/sec over four Twisted pairs, or eight wires.

There are two general styles for 10base2 cabling. The common style involves the use of one tee connector per station, with coaxial cable joining to each station in series. At the end of each bus there is a 75 ohm connector across the core/shield which is commonly referred to as a TERMINATOR. Because this is a bus system, any fault in the wire will affect all stations.
The other variant of 10base2 is made by AMP and offers the ability to add and remove a station without interfering with the rest of the bus. This method uses a short (under 1 metre) flylead with an unnamed push-in connector to a wall plate, essentially taking the place of a tee connector.
