Thicknet is mostly used as a backbone for local area network (LAN) environments. Thicknet transmits data at speeds of 10Mbps, it can accommodate up to 100 nodes per segment and covers distances of up to 1640 feet or 500 meters. but because of its rigidity, its very difficult to work with. If you have cable TV at home, you can feel how hard it is to move or to bend, but Thicknet is much heavier and thicker.

thick net a much thicker cable than thinet cables. there are some other differences. i hope this explained what is a thicknet wire. i also use this type of cable for ds3 (t3) circuits.

here is a picture of a thicknet cable. it looks similar to a thinnet.

Did you know that a loose connection can cause bad network performance. This leads to reduced speed, error counts in high-frame transmission. or even loss of connectivity . if you are going to be using thincknet, watch out for malfunctioned transceiver because they can cause excessive packet transmission or frame transmission errors. When you make the connections, make sure they are tight and not loose.

did this help you explain and understand thicknet?
