An RJ45 connector is a connector commonly used in the networking and communications field to connect Ethernet and local area network (LAN) devices. It usually consists of a plastic housing and metal pins for connecting network cables and device interfaces. The following is a general classification description of RJ45 connectors:
Construction type: RJ45 connectors can be classified and described according to their construction type. Common construction types include pin (insert) and modular. The pin RJ45 connector has a fixed pin arrangement that plugs directly into the wire in the cable and is suitable for the wiring of field terminals. The modular RJ45 connector has a modular design and is usually used with modular panels (such as network panels and socket panels) for easy maintenance and replacement.
Terminal type: RJ45 connectors can be classified according to the terminal type used. Common types of terminals are Unshielded and Shielded shielded. Unshielded RJ45 connectors are suitable for general LAN applications, and shielded RJ45 connectors can provide better anti-interference performance, suitable for environments with high signal interference requirements.
Transmission rate: RJ45 connectors can be classified according to the transmission rate they support. Common transfer rates include 10/100Mbps (fast Ethernet), 1Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10Gbps (10-Gigabit Ethernet). Different connector designs and pin arrangements can support different transfer rates to meet different network requirements.
