All rights reserved.INTRO v Summary The early version of Ethernet was called thick Ethernet and was large, expensive, difficult to install, limited to 500 meters before a repeater was required, limited in the number and placement of stations, relatively difficult in adding new users, and provided 10 Mbps of bandwidth. The later version of Ethernet, thin Ethernet, was smaller, limited to 185 meters before a repeater was required, limited in the number and placement of stations, easier in adding new users, and provided 10 Mbps of bandwidth.

Ethernet cables and segments can only span a limited physical distance after which transmissions become degraded. A hub extends network segments by receiving incoming bits, amplifying the electrical signal, and transmitting these bits through all of its ports to the other devices on the network. If two or more stations on a segment transmit at the same time, a collision results.

The network segments that share the same bandwidth are called collision domains because when two or more devices communicate at the same time, collisions may occur within that segment. It is possible to use other network devices operating at Layer 2 (or above) of the OSI model to divide network segments to reduce the number of devices that are competing for bandwidth on a given segment and to provide more bandwidth to the devices in the segment.
