GET IT TOGETHER-WITH THE ULTIMATE COMBO

Confused by Ethernet options? You're not alone. Standard Ethernet runs at 10 Mbits/sec. on three different cabling types-twisted pair, BNC, and AUI. Fast Ethernet runs at 100 Mbits/sec. over two different standards and at least five different cabling types. The fact is, while Ethernet technology now provides two line speeds and runs on virtually any cable, individual products typically support only one cable type and one line speed. You need an entire arsenal of adapters just to install one simple network until now.

The Ultimate Combo makes most other adapters look obsolete. The Ultimate Combo offers unbeatable Fast Ethernet performance in both T4 and TX environments, and supports all 10 Mbits/sec cable environments, including UTP, BNC, and AUI, for the ultimate in compatibility and ease-of-use.

UPWARDLY MOBILE

Your most critical applications are also your most mobile ones. Your MIS group installs and sets up servers at the corporate office, for shipment to the remote office. What kind of cable has been installed there? Your network protocol analyzer moves from office to office solving mission-critical problems. What cable type will it encounter next? Your operation's bottom line relies heavily on your training presentations and product demonstrations, which are always on the move. And, what if your entire operation moves to a new building, and your new cabling is completely different? For all these situations and more, install the Ultimate Combo and eliminate the next costly cabling incompatibility.

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY-FORWARD-THINKING DESIGN

Network upgrades don't happen all at once, so you want an adapter that helps bring your network up to speed without glitches. The Ultimate Combo supports 10 Mbps on twisted pair, Thinnet BNC, and AUI cable. Install the Ultimate Combo where you want Ethernet now, and also where you want Fast Ethernet in the future.

Cogent offers Ethernet products to meet every adapter and repeater environment, including 10BASE-2, 10 BASE-5, 10BASE- T, 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-T4, and 100BASE-FX (fiber).
