2 - 6 Trumpcard Ethernet LAN
Section Two
Concentrators
The Trumpcard, when used with 10BaseT Twisted-pair cable, must always
connect to a concentrator. This results in a star-wired Network with the
concentrator at the centre of the star. The Trumpcard is compatible with
10BaseT concentrators from a variety of vendors.
