Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T)

Your computer comes with built-in 10/100/1000 megabit per second (Mbps) twisted-pair
Ethernet networking capability, which you can use to connect to a network, including a
Gigabit Ethernet 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.
