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

10base5
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..
To connect a node to the wire, an Auxiliary Unit Interface (AUI) is used from the node to a transceiver. The transceiver is attached directly to the wire. Internetworking with Cisco and Microsoft technologies, pg. 228
