Mac Mini (2018) 10Gb Port Compatibility
Is the 10Gb port on the latest Mac Mini (2018) backwards compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T devices? I ask because the Apple site reports that the upgraded 10Gb port uses NBase-T.

Yes, it is compatible with both 1000Base-T and 100Base-T. I own the Mac Mini 2018 with 10 Gbps option and have tried both configurations in practice.
It doesn’t appear to be compatible with 10Base-T, but you’ll be hard pressed to find such equipment anywhere these days.
You can find Apple’s description of the network support at the following link:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208405
It similarly describes that 100Base-T is a supported configuration, while 10Base-T is not. Look at the included table for instructions on which cable types to use for the various supported speeds.
Thank you for clarifying the compatibility of the port.

Eventually, this should be compatible with 100/1000Base-T but not 10Base-T. Very little currently available hardware works with only 10Base-T. I suppose if you needed to interface with a 10Base-T device, you could just use a 10/100Base-T switch between the devices. These type of switches can be purchase for under 10 USD.
