The 3Com USB Network Interface
is an out-of-the-box network
connection solution that takes
advantage of the new USB
(Universal Serial Bus) on PCs. Now
you can get a network connec-
tion—without opening up your PC
and installing a conventional net-
work interface card (NIC). The
USB Network Interface works with
all PCs equipped with a USB port
and Windows 98 operating system.
Everything you need to get started
is included in one box. The 3Com
USB Network Interface comes
complete with a USB cable, which
plugs into the USB port at the back
of your PC, laptop, or notebook;
and an RJ-45 socket to attach a
standard UTP or STP cable for a
10BASE-T Ethernet connection.
You also get an easy-to-follow guide
that takes you through the simple
point-and-click installation steps so
you can be up and running—
within minutes.
The 3Com USB Network Interface
is completely compatible with
standard 10BASE-T Ethernet. It
provides the user with an assured
high-speed (10 Mbps) connection
between PCs—and all the benefits
of Ethernet networking.
Although the USB Network
Interface is an external device, you
won’t have to rearrange your
desktop to make it fit—it’s
extremely compact. Plus, the USB
Network Interface draws its power
from the USB port on your PC so
there’s no clutter of extra power
cords and plugs.
