RJ45 connector, commonly known as an Ethernet connector.
Here's what you need to know about it:
Purpose:
RJ45 connectors are primarily used in Ethernet networking to connect devices like computers, routers, and switches within a Local Area Network (LAN).
Structure:
They are a type of modular connector with eight positions and eight contacts (8P8C), designed to terminate twisted-pair Ethernet cables.
Functionality:
RJ45 connectors enable wired connections for internet access, file sharing, and other network-based communications.
Standards:
Two main wiring schemes, T568A and T568B, dictate the arrangement of the eight wires within the connector, each with its own color code and specific applications.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Some RJ45 connectors can also deliver electrical power to connected devices
