Copper/Fiber-optic Ethernet NIMs
The single-port Copper or Fiber-optic Ethernet NIMs, shown in Figure A-3 and Figure A-4,
provide interfaces for half and full-duplex 10/100Base-T or fiber-optic 100Base-F transmission
over LAN or WAN networks, respectively. The Copper Ethernet NIM incorporates a standard 8-
pin modular RJ-45 connector and the Fiber-optic Ethernet NIM has an MT-RJ multi-mode
interface. Both NIMs conform to IEEE 802.3 and PCI 2.2 standards.
