" So-called Thinnet (10Base2) uses cable TV-style cable, RG-58A/U. This made it much easier to lay out network cable."

That's not quite right. Cable TV type cable is 75 ohm RG59. I guess maybe they just mean both were coaxial and relatively flexible.

Well, they didn't say 'cable TV cable'. They said 'cable TV-style cable'.
