TOPIC


    This article describes the Apple Ethernet LC Card and the Apple Ethernet LC
    Twisted-Pair Card.


DISCUSSION


    The Apple Ethernet LC Cards (Apple Ethernet LC Card and Apple Ethernet LC
    Twisted-Pair Card) provide all Macintosh LC models, as well as the
    Macintosh Color Classic and Macintosh Quadra 605 computers, with the ideal
    Ethernet connectivity solution for all of your networking needs.

    Offering affordable high performance and flexibility, the Apple Ethernet LC
    Card includes a built-in Ethernet port. By plugging the appropriate Apple
    Ethernet cable system media adapter into this port, you can connect adapt
    to any standard Ethernet cabling environment: thin coax Ethernet networks,
    using the Apple Thin Coax Transceiver; and thick coax or other media (such
    as fiber-optic cable) Ethernet networks, using the Apple Ethernet AUI
    adapter.

    The Apple Ethernet LC Twisted-Pair Card also provides cost-effective
    performanceÐas well as exceptional reliabilityÐthrough its built-in,
    industry-standard 10Base-T network port. When used in conjunction with
    unshielded twisted-pair cable and an IEEE-compatible hub, it allows you to
    connect to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T networks.

    These convenient, easy-to-install cards feature uncompromised network
    performance, and afford the flexibility of connection to any standard
    Ethernet media. They support a variety of networking protocols, including
    AppleTalk, TCP/IP, Mac IPX, and DECnet, and offer seamless interoperability
    in multivendor environments.
