Power port: Plug the power cord into the power port on the back of your Mac Pro, then plug the other end of the cord into a power outlet.
10 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports: Your Mac Pro has two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports that can use Nbase-T Ethernet technology, which supports multiple data rates for speeds up to 10 Gbit/s over standard twisted-pair copper cable up to 328 feet (100 meters) in length. Depending on the device you’re connecting to, the cable type and technology used, and the cable length, the highest link speed is automatically negotiated. For example, if the device you’re connecting to is 10 Gbit/s-capable and the cable can support that speed, the two devices negotiate the 10 Gbit/s speed.
See the following table for connection speeds and cable types. Speeds are for cables up to 328 feet (100 meters) in length, unless otherwise specified.
Cable Type
1 Gbit/s
2.5 Gbit/s
5 Gbit/s
10 Gbit/s
