Apple Attachment Unit Interface
<hardware, networking> (AAUI) A 14-position, 0.050-inch-spaced ribbon
contact connector. Early Power Macintosh and Quadras had an AAUI (Apple
Attachment Unit Interface) port (rectangular shaped) for Ethernet, which
requires a transceiver. To use twisted pair cabling, you would need to get a
twisted pair transceiver for the computer with an AAUI port. Some Power
Macintosh computers had both an AAUI and RJ-45 port; you can use one or the
other, but not both.

AAUI signals have the same description, function, and electrical
requirements as the AUI signals of the same name, as
detailed in IEEE 802.3-1990 CSMA/CD Standard,
section 7.
