Features

Ease of use

  • Installs quickly and easily in a single step
  • Ships with multilingual software, which makes it ready for use with different language versions of the system software

Compatibility

  • Works with all Macintosh models with a processor-direct slot (PDS) including all Macintosh LC models as well as the Macintosh Color Classic and Macintosh Quadra 605 computers
  • Complies with IEEE 802.3 standards
  • Supports a variety of popular networking protocols, including AppleTalk, TCP/IP, Mac IPX, OSI, and DECnet
  • Easily integrates into multivendor environments
  • Adapts to any standard Ethernet cable environment using the appropriate Apple Ethernet cable system media adapter (Ethernet LC Card)

High performance

  • Allows concurrent execution of multiple networking protocols to optimize network performance
  • Ships with new, reengineered, high-performance network software

Convenience

  • Makes it easy to create, expand, administer, and troubleshoot the network
  • Lets you take advantage of existing unshielded twisted-pair cabling (Ethernet LC Twisted-Pair Card)

Reliability

  • Offers high network reliability because of the point-to-point nature of 10Base-T networks (Ethernet LC Twisted-Pair Card)

Description

The Apple Ethernet LC Cards (Apple Ethernet LC Card and Apple Ether-net LC Twisted-Pair Card) provide all Macintosh and Performa models equipped with a processor-direct slot (PDS)--including all Macintosh LC models, the Macintosh Color Classic, and Macintosh Quadra 605 computers--with the ideal Ethernet connectivity solution for all of your networking needs.

Offering affordable high performance and flexibility, the Apple Ethernet LC Card includes a built-in Apple Ethernet port. By plugging the appropriate Apple Ethernet cable system media adapter into this port, you can adapt to any standard Ethernet cabling environment: thin coax Ethernet networks, using the Apple Thin Coax Transceiver; and thick coax or other media (such as fiber-optic cable) Ethernet networks, using the Apple Ethernet AUI adapter.

Although highly cost-effective, the Apple Ethernet LC Twisted-Pair card provides exceptional network performance and reliability. With a built-in industry-standard 10Base-T network port, it allows you to create or extend an IEEE 802.3 10Base-T Ethernet network quickly when used with an IEEE-compatible hub.

These convenient, easy-to-install cards feature uncompromised net-work performance and afford the flexibility of connection to any stan-dard Ethernet media. They support a variety of networking protocols, including AppleTalk, TCP/IP, Mac IPX, OSI, and DECnet, and offer seamless interoperability in multivendor environments. LC Card Network Picture
