Ashoka Network Solutions

• Shape: Rectangular with 8 metal contacts (8P8C - 8 Position 8 Contact).

• Size: Similar to a telephone jack but slightly wider.

• Material: Usually plastic body with gold-plated metal contacts for durability and conductivity.

• Clip: A small plastic locking tab ensures the connector stays securely in the socket.

RJ-45 uses twisted pair cables, typically Cat5e, Cat6, or higher.
There are two standard wiring schemes:

• TIA/EIA 568A

• TIA/EIA 568B (most common)

Each wire in the cable connects to one of the 8 pins in the connector.

• Ethernet networking (LAN)

• Internet connectivity (routers/modems)

• IP cameras and VoIP phones

• Industrial and automation systems (e.g., PLC communication)

• Connector Type: RJ45 (Registered Jack 45)

  • 8P8C (8 Positions, 8 Contacts) modular connector.

  • Designed to terminate twisted pair Ethernet cables, commonly Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a.

• Network Support:

  • Suitable for 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).

  • Supports data transfer up to 1 Gbps and bandwidths of 100 MHz or more (depending on cable type).

• Construction:

  • Plastic housing (usually clear polycarbonate).

  • Gold-plated contacts (usually 3μ to 50μ) to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable signal transmission.

  • Optional metal shielding for use with FTP/SFTP cables to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).

• Cable Compatibility:

  • Compatible with solid or stranded Ethernet cables.

  • Can be used with Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a UTP/STP/SFTP cables.

  • Works with 24 to 26 AWG wires (depending on connector design).
