What is an RJ45?
RJ45 is a standardized connector type commonly used for Ethernet networking cables and telecommunications applications. It features 8 pins arranged in a specific configuration and is designed to terminate twisted-pair cables, most commonly Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and higher-grade network cables. The connector provides a reliable, standardized interface for data transmission in local area networks (LANs) and is the most widely used connector for wired internet connections in computers, routers, switches, and other network equipment.
