10BASE2 is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable. The 10 comes from the maximum transmission speed of 10 millions of bits per second, The BASE stands for baseband signaling, and the 2 supposedly refers to the maximum cable length of 200 meters.

What is lan wiring?

That is a LAN with cables as opposed to wireless LAN without cables. Network cables now mostly used for a wired LAN are UTP (unshielded twisted pair) CAT5E, although STP (shielded twisted pair) and CAT6 or CAT7 specifications are also used. Before COAX cables were used.
