Ethernet (10/100Base-T)

Your computer comes with built-in 10/100 megabit per second (Mbit/s) twisted-pair Ethernet networking capability, which you can use to connect to a network or to a cable or DSL modem.

Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers. You may be able to store and retrieve information; use network printers, modems, and email; or connect to the Internet. You can also use Ethernet to share files between two computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet port on your PowerBook automatically detects other Ethernet devices. You don’t need an Ethernet crossover cable when connecting to other Ethernet devices.

•Use 2-pair category 3 Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet network.

•Use 2-pair category 5 Ethernet cables to connect to a 100Base-T Ethernet network.
