## Overview

The AN-10BT-10B2 media converter is a compact, IEEE 802.3-compliant device that converts 10Base2 Thinnet coax Ethernet signals to 10Base-T RJ45 twisted-pair Ethernet at a stable 10 Mbps. Featuring an internal 50 ohm terminator switch and a hub/workstation toggle, it simplifies legacy network integration without external terminators or crossover cables. Equipped with dual status LEDs for link, activity, collision, and power monitoring, it’s designed to maintain critical legacy systems in medical, industrial, and laboratory environments. Powered by a 12V DC adapter, it operates reliably in standard conditions, making it the go-to solution for bridging vintage Ethernet to modern networks.

## Description

AN-10BT-10B2 Converter provides easy and affordable solution for connecting your existing Thin Ethernet adapter card or Thinnet Coax BNC Ethernet Network to a 10Base-T UTP network. AN-10BT-10B2 converts signals from Thin Ethernet for transmission over Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable to a 10Base-T hub. Includes an external power supply Power: 12V DC 1.0A Specifications: . Standards: IEE 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet | 10Base2 ThinnetInterfaces: BNC connector for Thinnet Ethernet & RJ-45 port for 10BT EthernetSpeed: 10Mbit/s (10 mbps)Connection Switch: Two position switch for hub or workstation settingsTerminator Switch: Two Positon On/Off for BNCTemperature: 0 - 55 C (standard operation)Humidity: 10% to 90% (non-condensing)Dimensions: 4.2" x 2.2" x 0.8"AC Power Adapter (comes in set): 12VDC, 1 AEMI: Meets FCC Class A subpart B of part 15 requirements

## Features

- CONNECTS 10BASE2 THINNET COAX TO A 10BASE-T RJ45 NETWORK - Bridges an existing thin-Ethernet BNC segment to modern twisted-pair Ethernet at the full 10 Mbps of both standards. IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 10BASE2 compliant. Signals are regenerated, not passively coupled, so segment length and signal quality are preserved across the conversion.
- BUILT-IN 50 OHM TERMINATOR SWITCH - A two-position switch terminates the BNC side internally, so no external BNC T-piece and 50 ohm terminating plug are needed at this end of the segment. Set it ON when the unit is the last device on the coax run, OFF when the segment continues through it.
- HUB / WORKSTATION SWITCH - A second two-position switch sets the RJ45 side for connection either to a hub or switch port, or directly to a workstation NIC, without a crossover cable. Between the two switches the unit covers every position on a 10Base2 segment.
- 10 MBPS ONLY - THIS IS A PROTOCOL CONVERTER, NOT AN EXTENDER - Both 10BASE-T and 10BASE2 are 10 Mbps standards; the unit does not negotiate 100 or 1000 Mbps and does not increase the length of a copper run. If the requirement is distance rather than protocol conversion, a different product applies.
- STATUS LEDS ON BOTH SIDES - Discrete indicators for link, activity, collision and power remove the guesswork when commissioning legacy plant, where the far end is often an instrument that gives no diagnostics of its own.
- BUILT FOR EQUIPMENT THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED - Typical installations are medical imaging systems, CNC and machine-tool controllers, PLC and SCADA buses, laboratory instruments and scoring or telemetry systems whose network card is 10Base2 and whose vendor no longer supplies parts.
- IN THE BOX - Converter unit, 12V DC 1.0A external power adapter and printed manual. No BNC T-piece or 50 ohm terminating plug is supplied, and none is needed at this end - the terminator is internal. 4.2 x 2.2 x 0.8 in, 0 to 55 C operating, 10-90% humidity non-condensing, FCC Class A subpart B part 15.
