10Base5

[Creedman]

Hey peeps... :confused: I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. You know that in a 10Base5 network, the transcievers along the cable MUST be spaced at 2.5 meters. What they don't say is WHY :eek: they have to be spaced at exactly 2.5 meters. What kind of problems do you run into when they are not spaced exactly. Also, what about 10Base2? Those have like a .5 meter spacing. Any help would be GREATLy appreciated guys. ;) ThankS!

As there are no answers, I suggest you search for "why is the minimum spacing of 10base5 network 2.5 meters?" on Google; the first two hits already hav some kind of an answer...
