tape cartridge
Housing for magnetic tape. The cartridge contains a reel of tape
and a take-up reel. A cartridge is similar to a cassette, but of
slightly different design.
tape drive
A device that contains mechanical components and holds, turns,

T-connector
A connector used to join ThinWire Ethernet cable sections.
terminal
A device for entering information into a computer system and
displaying it on a screen. A typewriter-like keyboard, mouse,
tablet or other pointing device is used to enter information.
terminator
A connector used on one or both ends of an Ethernet segment that

An IEEE standard 802.3-compliant Ethernet network made of
standard Ethernet cable. Also called standard Ethernet. Contrast
with ThinWire Ethernet network.
ThinWire Ethernet network
A Digital trademark used to describe its 10BASE2 Ethernet
products. Compare with AUI Ethernet network.
three-dimensional graphics
Images that are displayed on the screen in 3D. 3D graphics
require the use of the PXG+ or the PXG Turbo+ option and
Software PEX (software PEX server). Software PEX allows a 3D
application to run without specialized 3D hardware.
turn off
The sequence of steps that stops the flow of electricity to a system
or its components.
twisted-pair cable
A cable made by twisting together two insulated conductors.
twisted-pair Ethernet network
See 10BASE-T Ethernet network.
