Product type
RJ45 Ethernet connectors are standardized connectors used for network cabling and data transmission in Ethernet networks. They are typically made from plastic with metal contacts, which facilitate the connection of devices such as computers, routers, and switches. These connectors are designed to support high-speed data transfer and are essential for establishing reliable network connections.
| Connector type | RJ45 |
| Number of pins | 8 |
| Cable compatibility | Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7 |
| Contact material | Gold-plated or nickel-plated |
| Mounting type | Field-attachable or panel mount |
| Operating temperature range | -20°C to 70°C |
When selecting RJ45 Ethernet connectors, consider the type of cable you will be using, such as Cat5e or Cat6, as this will affect performance. Additionally, check for the number of pins and the quality of the contact materials, as gold-plated contacts typically offer better conductivity. Certifications like UL or RoHS compliance may also be important depending on your application. Specify your required quantities and any specific environmental conditions the connectors must withstand.
