Ethernet (10/100Base-T)
Your computer comes with built-in 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) Base-T (twisted-pair)
Ethernet networking capability, which you can use to connect to a network or to a cable or
DSL modem.
Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers. You may be able to store and
retrieve information; use network printers, modems, and electronic mail; or connect to the
Internet. You can also use Ethernet to share files between two computers or set up a small
network. The Ethernet port on your PowerBook auto-detects other Ethernet devices. You
don’t need an Ethernet crossover cable when connecting to other Ethernet devices.
m Use 2-pair category 3 Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet network.
m Use 2-pair category 5 Ethernet cables to connect to a 100Base-T Ethernet network.
