Apple EtherNet AUI Adapter: Not FCC Certifiable (2/95)


I noticed that the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter does not carry any FCC labeling to indicate that it has been tested and certified by the FCC. Is the AUI adapter certified by the FCC?


The Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter is considered a power supply by the FCC and is NOT certifiable.  The device is within the FCC Class A limits for emissions but it does not require certification nor the FCC label.  The FCC will not certify this type of device.

The Apple Thin Coax transceiver is a Class B compliant device and carries both the FCC ID and the FCC 'interference' statement.

The Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver is a Class A compliant device and is required only to carry the FCC 'interference' statement and does not require its own FCC ID.
