Access Unit, a MAU is also known as an Ethernet transceiver
or MSAU (MultiStation Access Unit) is a
type of adapter, connector or stand alone device that enables a
network device to be connected to a token ring
network. A MAU is one
form of fault tolerance that helps prevent issues if a network
device or computer goes down and are commonly available as either
active or passive. An active MAU is not powered and does not in any
way strengthen the signal from a device. A passive MAU is powered
and repeats and strengthens a signal. Also see: Network
