I was like hey thats a piece of Motorola gear maybe a site controller or similar.

Sure enough!

Just out of curiosity,

What kind of data transfer rates are those devices doing internally.. If it's running ethernet cable am I correct in assuming it's 10/100 or gig-a-bit...

Most of the old coax networks (think 10Base/2) were 10 meg. Pretty slow by today's standards. Hell we have residential WAN connections faster than that now.

This is indeed pretty interesting to see.

And that 10mbit/sec (1.25mbyte/sec) was shared amongst ALL PCs and devices connected to that network segment. During busy times you'd notice it.

And to think we graduated to 10 meg hubs after the ring networks faded away. Though they had their own advantages.
