ARCNET (Mark I Only)

The Attached Resources Computing Network is a high speed (2 Mb/sec) digital data link. ARCNET connects the Video module to the navigation computer.

ARCNET is made up of two data wires and a shield similar to the early CAN-Bus network. The shielded ARCNET cable has its own tri-axial type connector ends that are pushed onto their mating connectors on the modules.
