Ethernet (10/100Base-T)

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

Ethernet port (10/100Base-T)

Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers. You may be able to store and retrieve information; use network printers, modems, and electronic mail; or connect to the Internet. You can also share files between two computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet port on your iMac G5 automatically detects other Ethernet devices. You don’t need a crossover cable to connect to other Ethernet devices.

•Use 4-pair category 3 (Cat 3) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet network.

•Use 2-pair category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T or a 100Base-T Ethernet network.
