A small device used to connect a computer with a specific type of network cabling. For example, a transceiver might connect an AUI (10Base5) port on a printer to 10BaseT twisted pair cables. Transceiver comes from transmitter and receiver.
A device which acts as an adapter between certain types of media (fiber, coax, 10base-T) and the data jack on the wall.
A device consisting of a transmitter and a receiver that transmits and receives signals.
Device used to convert between different physical networks.
A device used in contention networks for sending data over the network and receiving data from the network.
Also known as a MAU and not to be confused with a Token Ring MAU (Media Access Unit). An Ethernet device for transmitting and receiving data that provides data packet collision detection as well. It can either be an internal or external feature of a network device such as network interface card, repeater, hub or concentrator. Internal MAUs are built into the device; external MAUs usually plug directly onto the AUI port of the device. A multi-port MAU, or transceiver, allows a number of computers/workstations to be attached to a single connection on the Ethernet bus and each port performs the standard transceiver functions.
A single unit that both transmits and receives radio or electronic signals.
A module composed of a receiver and transmitter.
A piece of networking hardware usually used to moderate interfaces. For instance, you would need a transceiver if the MITnet wire coming from the phone jack has a UTP interface and your workstation has an AAUI interface. Transceivers are also used to "share" an MITnet wire: a UTP interface coming from a wall can be connected to a transceiver that allows two or four computers with AUI interfaces to connect to the network.

A transceiver is a generic used to describe a device that can be used to both transmit and receive. In the IEEE 802 local area network (LAN) standards, transceivers consists of transmitter, power converter, receiver and, for CSMA/CD LANs, it consists of collision detector and also jabber detector capabilities. Transmitters receive signals from attached terminal's network interface card (NIC). It then transmits them to the coaxial cable or another LAN medium. The receiver then receives signals from the medium and in turn transmits them accross the transceiver cable and Network Interface Card and on to the attached terminal. There is also a jabber detector that is a timer circuit which protects the LAN from being a continuously transmitting terminal.

A transceiver is a device that has both a transmitter and a receiver which are combined and share common circuitry or a single housing. If no circuitry is common between transmit and receive functions, the device is a transmitter-receiver. The term originates around World War II.
