Dear Friends,

I'm putting together a small network, for classroom use, no
essential data transfer, maximum distance to hub 5 meters ( about
15 feet), using cheap NE2000 clone cards, 15 machine max.

My question is whether in the above situation there would be a
great difference between using the RJ-245 10Base-T connection
and cabling, and the BNC 10Base2 port. Do cheap hubs have both
connections? Can I combine cable types?

many TIA,
