Are you sure it’s not meant to be an RJ45 plug? The cylindrical thing to the bottom left corner of the wall socket looks like it might be a BNC plug. Which would make sense for the era of quake when Ethernet wasn’t yet ubiquitous.
- cluckindan 11mo agoRJ45 next to BNC implies a token ring network, not ethernet :)
- toast0 11mo agoMy combo 10base2/10baseT card begs to differ.
- stoneforger 11mo agoToken ring was the protocol, BNC the connector. Have you even lived without StarCraft on X.25 ? Don't forget to cap the ends!
- hnlmorg 11mo agoThat was literally what I said: > Which would make sense for the era of quake when Ethernet wasn’t yet ubiquitous. Also token ring was just one of a few different network protocols that supported BNC. Technically you could run Ethernet 10base2 over BNC too (In fact I used to have network cards that supported this, though I only used them for 10baseT). TR was definitely the more common protocol for BNC hardware though.
- hsjdndjdiendn 11mo agoNope. Ethernet back in the 10mbit days was over rj45 or thin cable BNC. Man I am old.
- jaffa2 11mo agoYes i look closer. Maybe it is a rj45.
