Apple Mac Mini 19 - Manual (Page 48)

48 Chapter 3 Using Your Mac mini
The Ethernet port on your Mac mini automatically detects other Ethernet devices.
You don’t need a crossover cable to connect to other Ethernet devices.
 Use 2-pair category 3 (Cat 3) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet
network.
 Use 4-pair category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T or a 100Base-T
Ethernet network.
For More Information About Using Ethernet
Additional information, including how to set up an Ethernet network and transfer files
using Ethernet, is available in Mac Help. Choose Help > Mac Help and search for
“Ethernet” or “network.” For information about networking products you can use with
your Mac mini, check the Macintosh Products Guide at www.apple.com/guide.
Note: You can also connect to another Macintosh using IP over FireWire instead of
Ethernet. FireWire 400 can be up to four times faster than 100Base-T Ethernet. For more
information, choose Help > Mac Help and search for “FireWire network.”
