| Ethernet Cable Media Connector Types |
| Most of network adapter cards have more than one interface connections. |
| If a card has more than one interface, the selection of which connector to use, will be controlled either by setting of jumpers or DIP (Dual Line Package) switches on the card itself, or by using a software-selectable option. |
| BNC |
| The BNC connector is used to connect the end of the cable to a device, such as a TV set or thinnet network. |
 |
| AUI |
| A thicknet network connection uses a-15 pin attachment unit interface (AUI) cable to connect the 15 pin (DB 15) connector on the back side of the network adapter card to an external transceiver. |
| The AUI was developed to create a kind of medium independent interface between the PLS (physical layer) and MAU (Medium Attachment Unit). |
 |
| RJ-45 |
| A twisted pair Ethernet network (9 base T) connection uses an RJ-45 connector (RJ stands for Registered Jack). The RJ45 is a keyed connector can be inserted in only one way. |
