From Wikipedia

10BASE5 (also known as thick Ethernet or thicknet) is a version of Ethernet providing 10 Mbit/s bandwidth over a thick coaxial cable having a maximum length of 500 m (1,600 ft). It was the first commercially available version of Ethernet. The technology was standardized first by Ecma International in early 1982 based on an IEEE draft standard, then by IEEE in 1983 as IEEE 802.3. Up to 100 stations can be connected to the cable in a single collision domain. The standard specifies CSMA/CD to resolve collisions. 10BASE5 was superseded by much cheaper and more convenient alternatives: first by 10BASE2 based on a thinner coaxial cable (1985), and then, once Ethernet over twisted pair was developed, by 10BASE-T (1990) and its successors 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T. In 2003, the IEEE 802.3 working group deprecated 10BASE5 for new installations.
