All,
A few months ago, I mentioned one of my suppliers had Belden 89880 thicknet Ethernet cable. Well, last week I finally made it down to his warehouse and picked it up! The final bits for a test segment came in today, so I set up a little link between my SPARCstation 10 and DEChub 90:
Neat!
Anyone interested in cable can email me directly
Will do. I already have a couple of Cabletron ST-500s with Thicknet taps, plus several (4? 5?) with a 10Base2 BNC top instead of the 10Base5 vampire tap. If there were an inexpensive source of the actual tap and cable clamp, I could put these on an Etherhose.
I do have a very few NOS Cabletron ST-500-01 transceiver/non-intrusive tap kits as well.
These tap kits may be exactly what I'm looking for. Oh, I also happen to have more than two 10Base5 terminators. The one substantial thing I lack is any fresh N-connector ends to terminate RG-8. I'll PM about this. Thanks! -ethan
