**Jack PC** is a [thin client](/source/Thin_client) device that is approximately the size of a network wall port. Its design allows for one's monitor, keyboard & mouse to plug straight into the wall-mounted unit. Jack PC operates in an SBC (Server Based Computing) environment.

The Jack PC thin client computers are connected at the back side through [Ethernet](/source/Ethernet) cables to the building's LAN and receive [Power over Ethernet](/source/Power_over_Ethernet) (or [802.3af](/source/IEEE_802.3af)) through the existing enterprise infrastructure.

Jack PC is also notable in that it consumes very little power. Some tests have found it to consume as little as 5 W, not counting monitor and other external peripherals.
