AAUI is part of a system of Ethernet peripherals intended to make connecting over Ethernet easier. At the time of the introduction of AAUI, Ethernet systems usually were 10BASE2, also known as thinnet. Apple's system is called FriendlyNet. A FriendlyNet 10BASE2 system does not use BNC T-connectors or separate 50 Ω terminators.
The Apple Thunderbolt Display is a 27-inch flat panel computer monitor developed by Apple Inc. and sold from July 2011 to June 2016. Originally priced at $999, it replaced Apple’s 27-inch Cinema Display. [1] It integrates a webcam, speakers and microphone, as well as several ports (ethernet, FireWire 800, USB 2.0, and a downstream Thunderbolt ...
[4] [5] USB ports are located on the back of the machine, while the headphone jack and Gigabit Ethernet port, due to their size being thicker than the case thickness, are located elsewhere—the Ethernet port on the power supply (dependent on configuration) and the 3.5-mm audio jack on the left edge of the iMac.

Thunderbolt is the brand name of a hardware interface for the connection of external peripherals to a computer.It was developed by Intel in collaboration with Apple. [7] [8] It was initially marketed under the name Light Peak, and first sold as part of an end-user product on 24 February 2011.
The iMac Pro was the first Mac to ship with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port, which can switch between speeds based on the connected network. The iMac Pro has IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless networking built in. [6] Internally, the iMac Pro has a substantially different arrangement than the regular iMac.
Ethernet had become almost universal by 1990, and it was time to build Ethernet into Macs direct from the factory. However, the physical wiring used by these networks was not yet completely standardized. Apple solved this problem using a single port on the back of the computer into which the user could plug an adaptor for any given cabling system.
A 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface, known as XAUI, was developed to extend the operational distance of XGMII and reduce the number of interface signals. A smaller variant called the Apple Attachment Unit Interface (AAUI) was introduced on Apple Macintosh computers in 1991, and was phased out by 1998.
The 12-inch Retina MacBook (early 2015) has only one expansion port, a USB-C port that supports charging, external displays, and Target Disk Mode. Using Target Disk Mode on this MacBook requires a cable that supports USB 3.0 or USB 3.1, with either a USB-A or USB-C connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other end for the MacBook. [5]
