10base-5 = 5
10Base5 Ethernet cables use thick coaxial cable, also known as "thicknet." The cable classification for 10Base5 is RG-8 or RG-11.
10base5
No, 10Base5 uses coaxial cable (RG-6) with an F connector

Vampire Tap Big collision and broadcast domains, bandwidth problems.
explain the ethernet lan layouts (10base2/10base5/any other)
I think it uses BNC connectors.
Thicknet coax cables are 10base5 cables, RG-8 or RG-6 cables.
A bus topology for a LAN will typically use coaxial cable, either 10Base5 (thicknet) or 10base2 (thin-net) copper wiring.
500m, for 10Base5 thicknet - probably no installations left. For 10base2 thinnet, it's around 185 m - maybe some that have not moved on to twisted-pair of some kind..
The maximum transmission distance for a network using 10Base5 technology, also known as "thicknet," is 500 meters (1,640 feet) per segment. This coaxial cable-based Ethernet standard supports data rates of 10 Mbps and allows for multiple segments to be connected, with up to 2,500 meters total distance when using repeaters. However, the effective distance for practical networking may be less due to the need for network devices and connectors.
