Ethernet Transceiver

Hey everyone... I need some help on the difference between 2 transceivers. I have 3 2501s, but only one of them came with a transceiver. I am looking to get another AUI transceiver, but noticed the CentreCOM 210T and 210TS. Does it matter which one I get? The one I currently have in the 2501 is a 210T. The 210TS is half the price of the 210T (based on my eBay searches).

Thank you.

Possibly the same?

I've got both versions hanging off my 2500s and either will work fine -- so get the cheaper ones.

The key thing when shopping for Ethernet transceivers is to make sure you're getting the ones with the correct connectors (AUI to RJ45).

I believe the S stands for Sleeve.

Notice the TS has the sleeve on the AUI adapter side.

I am totally just speculating there

I would like to know what the S is for and why the difference.

The S is for slimline. Either will work. The slimline model is thinner but longer and taller.

Standard:
6.4 cm x 4.6 cm x 2.0 cm
(2.5 in x 1.8 in x 0.8 in)

Slim-line:
6.9 cm x 4.3 cm x 2.5 cm
(2.7 in x 1.7 in x 1.0 in)
