RJ45

RJ45 is a standard connector used to plug Ethernet cables into devices like computers, routers, and switches for wired internet connections. It resembles a slightly larger phone connector and has eight metal pins inside that transmit data signals. The term "RJ45" often refers to both the connector and the cable's wiring pattern. This setup ensures a reliable, high-speed internet connection, making RJ45 a common choice for local area networks (LANs). The connector's design helps keep connections secure and prevents accidental disconnections.
