Can VG Cards Plug Into a 10Base-T Hub?
Usually. Most VG cards have two RJ-45 connectors: one is used to connect to a VG hub and the other is used to connect to a 10Base-T hub. Note that both cannot be used at the same time. When a VG card is plugged into a 10Base-T card, it works just like any other 10 megabit Ethernet card. This feature is usually used to simplify migration from 10Base-T to 100VG. A network administrator can take his or her time upgrading some or all of the machines on a network with new adapter cards. Users can then be moved to a new VG segment a little at a time or all at once. Note that some manufacturers may develop cards that only have a VG connection. These cards should be a little cheaper than cards with both types of connections.
