| AUI | AUI is the IEEE 802.3 standard name for the cable connecting an Ethernet transceiver (MAU) to a networked device. An AUI cable is equipped with a 15-pin connector that mates with a 15-pin connector on the networked device. | ||
| MIC | Medium Interface Connector (MCI) is a duplex fiber optic connector used with Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks. | ||
| RJ-45 | RJ-45 connectors look a bit like a standard phone connector but are twice as wide (with eight wires). RJ-45s are used for hooking up computers to local area networks (LANs) or for phones with many lines. | ||
| BNC | The BNC is essentially a miniature version of the C connector that is a Bayonet version of the N connector. BNC connectors are available in both 50 and 75 ohm versions; both versions will mate together. The 50 ohm designs operate up to a frequency of 4 GHz.
