BNC

Used on 10base2 thin net networks. The connector looks something like the TV coaxial connector. It attaches to a T-connector which in turn attaches to a network interface card.

• 50 ohm Terminators -
• T Connectors -

DIX

Is used on 10base5 (thicknet) networks and defined in IEEE 802.3. An Attachment Universal Interface (AUI) cable with a DIX connector at each end connects the NIC to an external transceiver. A 50ohm cable is used to connect the stations. Terminators are used at the ends of the segment.

RJ45

The RJ45 connector Is used on 10base-T networks and defined in IEEE 802.3. The connector looks like a telephone connector.
