Connecting to an Ethernet Network

Your iMac comes with built-in 10/100/1000 megabit per second (Mbps) Base-T (twisted-

pair) Ethernet networking capability for connecting to a network or to a cable modem

or DSL modem.

Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers on the network. You

may be able to store and retrieve information, use network printers, modems, and

email, or connect to the Internet. You can also share files between two computers or

set up a small network. Use a 2-pair shielded category 5 (shielded Cat 5) Ethernet cable

to connect to a 10Base-T, 100Base-T, or 1000Base-T Ethernet network. The Ethernet (G)

port on your iMac automatically detects other Ethernet devices.
