The Allied Telesis AT-MX10S-05 is a slim-line 10Base-2 MAU transceiver for direct attachment via AUI connection to Ethernet networks. This compact transceiver delivers IEEE 802.3-compliant 10 Mbps connectivity over thin coax media, supporting up to 30 attachments per segment with maximum cable runs of 185 meters. The slim-line form factor—measuring just 6.9 cm × 4.3 cm × 2.5 cm and weighing 73 g—provides optimized mechanical fit for Macintosh, Sun SPARC, and IBM RS/6000 workstations. Switch-selectable SQE testing with integral jabber lock-up prevention and loopback functionality enable comprehensive network diagnostics. Dual-color LED indicators display DTE power and SQE test status, while a separate link integrity LED confirms network presence.
