Klein Pass-Thru™ Modular Data Plug, RJ45

Klein Modular Data Plug, referred to as an RJ45 plug, is a standardised connector used in networking and telecommunications. The term "RJ45" stands for "Registered Jack 45," and it is the most common type of connector used for Ethernet cables, which are used to connect computers, routers, switches, network cameras (CCTV) and other network devices.

The RJ45 plug is designed for use with twisted pair cables, typically Cat5e, Cat6, cables. It has eight pins and is used for connecting network cables to Ethernet ports on devices. Each of the eight pins in an RJ45 plug has a specific function, and they are arranged in a way that ensures proper data transmission.

The RJ45 connector is widely used for both wired Ethernet networks and telephone connections. It's known for its durability and ease of use, making it the de facto standard for connecting devices in local area networks (LANs). To create a functional network cable, you typically crimp an RJ45 plug onto the ends of the twisted pair cables, which are then plugged into the corresponding jacks on network devices.

RJ45 connectors come in different variations to support various Ethernet standards, including 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and even faster connections. It's important to use the appropriate type of RJ45 connector and cable for your specific networking needs to ensure proper performance and compatibility.
