The IBM MTCV-1D is an AUI-to-10BASE-T Ethernet transceiver, associated with the IBM 3995 Optical Library Dataserver family of network-attached optical storage systems. It converts the older 15-pin AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) signal used by legacy Ethernet equipment into standard 10BASE-T twisted-pair Ethernet, allowing equipment built around the AUI standard to connect to more modern twisted-pair network infrastructure. Transceivers of this type were a common accessory on IBM networking and storage equipment from the 1990s, bridging older thick-Ethernet-style interfaces and the twisted-pair cabling that had become standard. Equipment of this generation occasionally remains in service in legacy or archival environments, and genuine spares such as this one are useful for maintaining or restoring an older installations original network connectivity. Specifiers should confirm the exact host equipment and interface requirements before ordering, since AUI transceivers of this type were fitted across a range of IBM legacy hardware. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM legacy networking components. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
