- rg8 — (networking, hardware) The original "full spec" cable used for 10base5 Ethernet networks. RG8 is stiff, large diameter coaxial cable with an impedance of 50 ohms, a member of the "Radio Guide" series.

This is achieved using a "vampire tap". RG8 is sometimes called "thicknet" or "thick Ethernet" in contrast to RG58, a cheaper, thinner, more flexible alternative.
