I am trying to troubleshoot a 10Base2 network running over RG58U cable. I have a length about 500 feet long that is not working for carrying network traffic. I terminated one end with a terminator that I metered at 49.0 Ohms. When I then meter the cable it comes back at 54.6 Ohms. Is this a significant enough difference to keep the cable from carrying network traffic?
I am unfamiliar with 10Base2 networking characteristics so I apologize if this may be a silly question.
Thanks, James Thompson Oneida, KY
