Bring on the Blinky Lights!

The Uthernet II (available from A2RetroSystems) is one of the best selling modern peripherals for the Apple II. On the board are six LEDs to indicate network traffic, speed, and collisions. These are handy for troubleshooting your setup or for diagnosing networking issues, but they're not visible once the case of your Apple II is closed.

Light Pipes

These fiber optic light pipes connect securely to the Uthernet II board with a 3D printed clip, and transmit the light from the LEDs to a port on the back of your Apple II.

There are two versions of the port cover. One is a standard 33mm port cover with just the six light pipes in a line. The second is the indicators in a cluster, with a mount point for a panel mount RJ45 Ethernet cable to fit in a larger port. This cable is available as a $5 add-on.

The fiber optics are approximately 10 inches long, and are flexible enough to be wound around other cards and cables in your IIe to reach an available port.

Works great! Fast shipping and quality product!

I bought the version that combines with an RJ45 panel-mount extension cable. The cable wasn't in stock at the time but I bought one online for $5. The light pipes connect snugly to the Uthernet II card, and also has a slide-away type connection so that if you do accidentally tug on it while tinkering around, it slides off the card without breaking the attaching clip. The lights look great, and my Apple IIe now has a lighted ethernet panel mount instead of a wire running into the back of the case! My girlfriend is normally not very excited about my Apple II explorations but the Light Pipe got a "Wow! That's really cool!" endorsement. Buy the Light Pipe. It's girlfriend approved.
