Transceivers can also be used to join a segment that
uses one medium to a segment that uses a different
medium. On a 10BASE-5 network, the transceiver
connects the network adapter or other network device
to the medium. Transceivers also can be used on
10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach devices
with AUI ports.
