Extra Connector on Network Adapter
I just installed a pair of 10/100 Mbps adapters to make it easy to
swap files between two machines. They came with a three-wire cable (about 30cm long) that connects to the pc board. The very sparse instruction sheet doesn't mention the cable and I have no idea what it's for. They are made by Gigafast and use the RealTek RTL8139/810X chip. Anybody know what the cable is for? Thanks! Roby

Yes, wake on lan (WOL). Many modern boards don't need this feature if the BIOS is set correctly to wake from that device, will work without the cable. Dave
