is a cable bus which runs over copper or fiber the copper interfaces use either a coax line or differential twisted pairs while the fiber runs use fiber optic cables ether was originally based on the idea of puters municating over a shared coaxial cable acting as a broadcast transmission medium the method used was similar to those used in radio systems with the mon cable providing the munication channel likened to the luminiferous aether in 19th century physics and it was from this reference that the name ether was derived the redpark ether cable is a specialty version of usb to ether adapter it provides a general purpose ether interface however there are functional limitations which need to be understood and are explained below the crossover cable differ from cable used for straightforward ether rj45 connection in order to make crossover ether cable wire one rj 45 connector using.
