1. The RJ45 connector is a small plastic cup which will be used to connect the wire inside the connector and ready to connect the Internet.
2. The RJ45 connector looks similar like a telephone jack but it looks a slightly wider. 3. The Ethernet cables are sometime called as RJ45 cables.
4. In RJ45 the “RJ” stands for the Registered Jack and the “45” simply refers to the number of interface standard in the cable.
5. Each RJ45 connector has eight pins and connected to each end of the Ethernet cable.
6. Since it has 8-position, 8-contact (8P8C) modular plug, It is also known as 8P8C connector.
The two main signals of the pins: the one is the TX which is transmission of data and RX which is Receiver of data.
“In the Figure the position of pin no. 1 describes the transmit data or bidirectional, the bidirectional means it can be sent to both connection with the TX (positive). The TX+ has positive terminal and the color is used in this position is white green.
- In the position of pin no. 2 describes the transmit data or bidirectional with the TX (negative). The TX- has negative terminal and the color is used in this position is Green.
- In the position of pin no.
- Describes the receive data or bidirectional with the RX (positive). The RX is compatible to receive the data which has positive terminal and the color is used in this position is white orange.
- In this position of pin no. 4 describes that it is not connected or bidirectional. It means there will be no transmitting or receiving will exist. But it can be used later for some other connection. The color used in this pin is blue.
- In this position of pin no. 5 describes that it is not connected or bidirectional and the color is white blue.
- In this position of pin no. 6 describes the receive data or bidirectional with the RX (Negative) which has a negative terminal and the color used in this position is orange.
- In this position of pin no. 7 describes that it is not connected or bidirectional and the color is white brown.
- In this position of pin no. 8 describes that it is not connected or bidirectional and the color is brown.
