[comp.dcom.lans] Attaching thin Ethernet devices to thick Ethernet plants

dorl@uwmacc.UUCP (Michael Dorl) (01/14/87)

I have a need to attach some devices that have only thin Ethernet
interfaces, ie. that have a BNC connector but no transceiver interface,
to a thick Ethernet plant.

Does anyone know of any inexpensive products that might do this?

Don't bother telling about me about...

   connecting thick and thin Ethernet cable

   DEC's DEMPR (I hear I'm likely to be retired before these
                are available.)

The best I've been able to come up with so far is using a standard repeater
with a thin wire transceiver such as DEC DESTA or TCL 2010ETC but these are
likely to cost about $1700, a good portion of the cost of the devices I'm
trying to connect.
