A Transceiver, or media converter, is a device which interfaces between the network and a local node. An example of a transceiver is an MAU. A transceiver generally converts to different types of connectors, like AUI and RJ-45.
An MAU is a media attachment unit - a device which connects the computer to the Ethernet network.
A transceiver works at the Physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model.
rj-45 is being common now
