I remember working at the Hammersmith Hospital,
where they had a broadband network which used coax. 
(Rather than today's loose usage of broadband meaning high bandwidth).

I can't remember the brand name of the supplier, and it would be
well nigh impossible to locate the kit. I'm not even sure it carried
Ethernet.
Then again, cable TV multiplexes a network link on coax in the street,
so maybe there is some gear from that market.

As an aside, I started work on the project which used dedicated fibre
connections to Mac workstations for the X-ray PACS project.
A 20Gig RAID array which was portable as the US military could sling it
below a helicopter...
