So THAT'S what they're called!I remember them from school when they bought a load of new RM Nimbus 186 machines. The technician at the school put a load of new network cabling in, I remember it being really thick coax with thinner coax coming off it.
Those were the days, I remember some of the other kids at school pinching terminators and T-pieces or disconnecting one end of the cable, something I later came across when I worked at Exeter College (although a month or two before I left they started putting CAT5 in on the main site).
