Ethernet is a local area network that provides communication between various devices at 10 Mbps. The physical communication media you use can be any standard 802.3 media, including:

thick-wire coaxial cable (10Base5)

thin-wire coaxial cable (10Base2)

twisted pair (10Base-T)

fiber optic

broadband

The Ethernet port (channel 2) connects to either a thin-wire, thick-wire, or twisted-pair network via a 15-pin transceiver or Medium Access Unit (MAU) connection. See Appendix G for detailed information about Ethernet cable connections.
