About: Vampire tap

An Entity of Type: device, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A vampire tap (also called a piercing tap) was a device for physically connecting a station, typically a computer, to a network that used 10BASE5 cabling. This device clamped onto and "bit" into the cable (hence the name "vampire"), inserting a probe through a hole drilled using a special tool through the outer shielding to contact the inner conductor, while other spikes bit into the outer conductor. The vampire tap usually had an integrated AUI (Attachment Unit Interface), from which a short multicore cable connected to the network card in the station.

dbo:abstract
  • A vampire tap (also called a piercing tap) was a device for physically connecting a station, typically a computer, to a network that used 10BASE5 cabling. This device clamped onto and "bit" into the cable (hence the name "vampire"), inserting a probe through a hole drilled using a special tool through the outer shielding to contact the inner conductor, while other spikes bit into the outer conductor. The vampire tap usually had an integrated AUI (Attachment Unit Interface), from which a short multicore cable connected to the network card in the station. Vampire taps allowed new connections to be made on a given physical cable while the cable was in use. This allowed administrators to expand bus topology network sections without interrupting communications. Without a vampire tap, the cable had to be cut and connectors had to be attached to both ends.

  • Le spine a vampiro sono particolari spine usate per connettere uno o più computer ad una rete a bus;sono usate solitamente con cavi coassiali del tipo 10Base5. Essendo questi cavi più grossi dei cavi coassiali 10BASE2 è molto difficile tagliarli per collegarli al pc stesso tramite un connettore BNC,quindi si usano i connettori a vampiro, che come suggerisce il nome "mordono" il cavo coassiale fissandosi tramite un perno all'anima stessa.Ogni connettore a vampiro deve essere posto a distanza multipla di 2.5m, per evitare interferenze nel segnale.Solitamente nel cavo coassiale queste distanze sono indicate attraverso delle fascette colorate in modo da facilitare il posizionamento dei connettori.
