It says 16 bit, which 16 bit is a word.

As I remember it, 1 bit is a bit, 8 bits is a byte, 16 bits is a word, and 32 bits is a long word.

Quote the wiki page:

The different revisions of the PCMCIA module were released by Apple to accommodate the developing PCMCIA standard. These modules are difficult to find, and the RevC module is in particular demand because it alone works with 16-bit WiFi cards.

So the Rev C Cage works in 16bits.
