What Is an Ethernet Card?
An Ethernet card is a device that enables connections between PCs, printers, and other devices to a network.
This card’s main components are the controller and the transceiver. The controller handles Ethernet communication protocols like CSMA/CD and TCP/IP, facilitating the connection of PCs and printers to Ethernet networks.
The transceiver, on the other hand, manages the transmission and reception of Ethernet signals. It operates per standards such as 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T, ensuring that Ethernet signals are transmitted and received effectively according to these protocols.
