Definitions for "ThinWire "
An outdated type of network cabling, thinwire was named for it's unique feature of being much thinner than the thick cables that came before it. Thinwire works a lot like your old Christmas lights do, if one computer on a thinwire segment goes down, everyone after it also goes down. Currently on Case's campus there is only one building with supported thinwire connections: Baker building. All Thinwire will be removed when the Gigabit Network Upgrade is completed.
