Connecting ThinNet (10BASE2)  
 
 
Note:  connect TP media before connecting BNC media if power is on in the 
Media Converter unit.  See Section  3.5 Connecting Media above. 
Connect the ThinNet coax cable to the BNC connector on the Media Converter 
in the same manner as is done for any standard BNC connection.  Be sure that the BNC 
segment is properly terminated using a standard “T” connector. 
 
The LE1502A-R3 regular and LE1508A hardened BNC media converters are 
also equipped with “Terminator Switch” (
∝-50Ω), which can be used to eliminate the 
standard “T” connector by moving the “Terminator Switch” to the 50
Ω position.  See 
Section  4.5  BNC port, Internal Termination Switch
 for details.
