Meaning of MAU

MAU media attachment unit. Device used in Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 networks that provides the interface between the AUI port of a station and the common medium of the Ethernet. The MAU, which can be built into a station or can be a separate device, performs physical layer functions, including the conversion of digital data from the Ethernet interface, collision detection, and injection of bits onto the network. Sometimes referred to as a media access unit (also breviated MAU) or as a transceiver. In Token Ring, an MAU is known as a multistation access unit and usually is abbreviated MSAU to avoid confusion. See also AUI and MSAU.
