I understand 10Base5 cable being limited, though regular 50 ohm coax generally
works fine if you work around the lack of stripes.
AUI cable, though, that doesn't seem much of a problem. Straightforward N pair
twisted pair cable, terminated with DA15 connectors. The slide locks are not
quite common but I believe still exist in parts catalogs, and you can do
without them in any case.
