General Description
The E-TBT-MC05, IEEE802.3 compliant Ethernet transceiver uses 10Mbps Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol to provide
a connection interface to 10Base-T Ethernet unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. The transceiver connects to
the AUI connector of an Ethernet device via standard AUI cable.
The E-TBT-MC05 transceiver is a media access unit (MAU) that connects the AUI port of data terminal
equipment, repeaters, or other network devices either directly or through an AUI cable to an Ethernet 10BASE-T
device. The Ethernet device is connected to the transceiver through an unshielded or shielded twisted-pair
copper cable with RJ-45 connector ends.
Various System Configurations
Figure 1 shows various examples of transceiver system configurations.
