Here are your basic tradeoffs, including cabling, which is probably the most
crucial aspect of T/R
IBM MAU
Pro: patch cables easy to find (sometimes free), works well with native
(DB-9) T/R connector
Con: cabling bulkier (STP), relays tend to stick if MAU is jarred in
transit, requires RJ-45 to IBM Data Connector adapter at the MAU side to
work with UTP cabling
RJ-45 MAU
Pro: cabling is normal Cat5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), works well with
PC NICs that have an RJ-45 port
Con: need media filters to adapt DB-9 (on routers) to RJ-45
