10 Base 5 Coax
This old ‘frozen garden hose’
cabling is almost (thankfully) gone. As the description implies, this
cable tended to be thick and stiff, and difficult to work with. The
distance limitation per segment is 500 meters, and carries
data at 10Mbit/sec.
½____________10Mbit/s__________½500
meters
 ”B” sure
The Big ‘B’ means Bytes per second. The little ‘b’ means bits per second. There are eight bits to a byte.

Because the thick cable is unwieldy
and somewhat expensive, and connecting devices to a 10Base5 network
requires skill and special connection hardware, it is most often seen
as part of the main backbone of a LAN -- the part of the LAN wiring
over which the most traffic travels -- rather than as the standard cabling
between individual users’ workstations on the LAN.
