Dateline: CUPERTINO, California--November 21, 1994

Description:

Apple Computer, Inc. today announced the availability of the Apple Ethernet
10T/5 Workgroup Hub. The new compact five-port hub is designed to easily
connect five computing devices together to form an industry-standard
10Base-T Ethernet network. It is ideal for small- to medium-size
workgroups.

Significance:

The new hub is part of Apple's strategy to provide industry standard,
high-performance networking solutions. It comes with an Apple AUI
Connector and four industry-standard RJ-45 connectors to easily connect
devices such as Macintosh personal computers, PCs, Apple Workgroup Servers
or ethernet-equipped laser printers using 10Base-T cabling to form
convenient, ad-hoc networks. It also ships with an expansion adapter which
allows multiple hubs to easily connect together to expand small workgroup
networks or extend structured networks.

The compact hub, which is slightly larger than an Ethernet transceiver,
comes ready to use out-of-the-box and requires no additional configuration
software. An optional external power adapter is available separately for
customers who want to power the hub independently of a host. It is
compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards and supports all popular networking
protocols and software, including AppleTalk ,TCP/IP, IPX, DECnet, MacIPX
and Apple Internet Router server software.
