About This Part
The Alcatel-Lucent 3AL34018AA AUI-10B2 Adapter/2 is a crucial component designed to bridge legacy networking interfaces. Specifically, it functions as an Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) to 10BASE2 Ethernet converter. This adapter enables devices equipped with a standard AUI port to connect seamlessly to 10BASE2 (ThinNet) coaxial cable networks, facilitating data transmission at 10 Mbps. In telecom and data centre environments, such adapters were historically vital for integrating early Ethernet-capable equipment, including routers, servers, and specialized industrial control systems, into existing coaxial network infrastructures. While specific detailed technical specifications for this exact part number are not readily available, its designation implies adherence to IEEE 802.3 standards for AUI and 10BASE2. This means it supports the physical layer connectivity for 10 Megabit per second Ethernet over RG-58 coaxial cable, utilizing the 15-pin D-sub AUI connector. Revo Distribution Limited carries the Alcatel-Lucent 3AL34018AA to support our B2B clients who maintain or operate legacy network infrastructure. As a B2B supplier of used and refurbished equipment, we understand the critical need for reliable spare parts and components to extend the operational life of existing systems, ensuring continuity and cost-effectiveness for our customers.
