When I was playing with 10Base-2 over short cables (like 3m segment length) I found that I could put both terminators on one end of the cable and it would still work. I think the collision detection is a "DC level thing" -- Jasen.

Well on a single cable just one bad node can cause problems of course. But in general it works fine as long as all nodes behave.

A switch is good - better - in most typical circumstances. But you cannot use a switch to snoop on another host on the network like with a hub; then the latency with a hub is none, if that matters in some scenario.

Did you perhaps mean 10 gigbabit Ethernet above?
No, I was wondering if building a box that can only support 10M over the usual CAT5/6 and RJ45s was a dead end. PCs and switches would have to work at 10M long-term. I can envision very long CAT6 runs, so 10M would actually be good.

I'm intrigued by you saying only "reliable" at 10M. Which RPi are we talking about and who says? And what is the unreliability?

Long ago, we had some computers wired, in theory for 100M. But it was actually doing 10M. I found that the cable twisted pairs were 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, instead of 1-2, 3-6, 4-5, 7-8. Electrically (DC) it is the same, but the transmission properties were different, the cards detected errors, and they dropped to 10M. So we replaced those cables and the network went to 100 M. Dunno what the cables were intended for, or if it was just an error when making the connectors (I did not have the tools to make them). -- Cheers, Carlos.

Modern chipsets and PHY for 10/100baseT are all you'll likely find; I'd guess that 100Mbit with error correction is just as good as 10 Mbit, but in any case all the available support chips are the same because it falls back. Two-pair 10baseT is very much obsolete, would be hard to find a dedicated chipset available today. CAT6 has twice as many pairs as 10/100 uses. No CAT6 advantage, unless you want to run two links in a single cable.

The advantage is to use all the standard stuff, PCs and cables and switches and RJ45 connectors. Cat5 would certainly be OK at 10M. Price is crazy low on either type of cable.

The Raspberry ought to be able to drive a faster NIC, so the Pi need not talk all that fast. May need a fast buffer memory somewhere. What is the max link length? Joe Gwinn

Pi Pico. There is an add-on board to do Ethernet. We could use the same phy chip and software instead of buying the board. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/how-to-add-ethernet-to-raspberry-pi-pico/ It's reported to be flakey at 100M. They are bit-banging the phy from gpio pins.
