We're looking for recommendations for 10baseT->ThinWire MAUs. You know, the gizmos that have a 10baseT RJ45 jack on one side, which connects up to a 10baseT concentrator, and a ThinWire BNC on the other side, which can support some number of ThinWire stations on a 10base2 segment. We have been using Fibermux FX6693Z's, but haven't found them to be too reliable. Has anyone found a ThinWire MAU that they really like?

Well, the standard to link dissimilar media is to use a repeater, so you must look for one; I am familiar with the AT&T Coax Adapter which is a true two port repeater and, as such, will support the true 10BASE2 std. on the coax side. I know of some vendors that have the proper connectors but only support, say, 100 meters of thinwire and 20 stations...not 10BASE2. If you want jitter to accumulate, then buy whatever...otherwise, check the specs!
