The iBook has a built-in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. The user can connect it to either a 10Base-T or a 100Base-TX hub; the port will automatically sense which type of hub is connected.
The connector for the Ethernet port is a shielded RJ-45 connector on the left rear corner of the computer. Table 3-2 shows the signals and pins on the connector.
