That sounds like the Farallon transceivers. They had an AAUI to RJ45
cable, and then a box that plugged into that RJ45 end. The box would then
go to whatever port type you were using.
So yes... that cable should go to the box's RJ45 port (which should be
labled as Computer, with the 10b-2 side labeled as Network... at least
the 10b-T ones I have are labeled that way)
I have always wanted to just plug that AAUI to RJ45 cable into a hub and
see if it works without the box... but I have never been willing to risk
frying something.
