RJ45 Snagless Modular Plug Overview

Cat 5 and Cat 6 are UTP (or Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables. Both are terminated by RJ45 connectors. How Much Do You Know About RJ45 connector?

The RJ45 is the standard connector for UTP cable. "RJ" stands for "Registered Jack". RJ45 connectors connect electronic devices like computers over an Ethernet connection, also used to connect printers, cable or DSL modems, and storage devices. As there are a few different types of RJ45 cables, it is wise to be able to correctly identify them before you connect any device to your network.

The two most popular types of RJ 45 cables are crossover and standard patch cables. While both cables can be used to connect numerous devices to the Internet or to each other, they are often utilized for specific jobs. The standard patch cable is almost always used to connect a computer to a modem or router or network storage device. The crossover cables, on the other hand, are often used to connect one computer to another, without the need of an independent switch or router. The cables look the same, but on the inside there is a difference in the wiring, especially in the plug.

Where are RJ45 connectors used? RJ45 connectors can be used anywhere a device connected to the Internet. They are extremely popular in businesses, both large and small, especially a company requires networking solutions.
