The term RJ45 is derived from ‘Registered Jack 45,’ indicating that it is a part of the universally standardised networking interface. These registration interfaces were developed in the 1970s to ensure full compatibility between telephone company hardware and consumer equipment. A new range of standardised jacks and plugs were introduced as a series of miniature modular connectors, one of which is the RJ45.
Originally, the term ‘registered jack’ referred specifically to the standard female sockets and their wiring, hence the use of the term ‘jack’ to indicate a socket. However, this definition has gradually evolved over time. Nowadays, RJ45 is widely used to refer to both male and female components of the modular RJ45 connector system.
An RJ45 connector is commonly used at both ends of an Ethernet (wired internet) connection. It resembles the telephone plugs and jacks used to connect landlines to walls or switchboards but is usually slightly larger. The term “RJ45 connector” refers to both male plugs and female sockets, which are commonly referred to as modular connectors. The male plugs are typically found at the end of Ethernet cables, while the sockets or jacks are embedded in the device being connected or mounted on a fixed wall panel.
Registered jacks were originally designed for telecoms network interfaces, enabling voice and data equipment to be linked to a central hub or directly to each other. However, in modern domestic and commercial environments, RJ45 connectors are primarily used for connecting internet-enabled devices to hardware such as modems, routers, and servers.
RJ45 connectors are modular sets of fittings located at either end of a physical data connection, allowing one networked device to connect to another through an Ethernet cable. In the case of Ethernet networking, the plug fixtures on cable ends are known as RJ45 male parts, while the sockets located on devices themselves are referred to as RJ45 female parts.
Ethernet or network communication cables, collectively known as RJ45 cables, are available in several grades or categories online. They are designed to achieve high-speed data transfer connections. These cables consist of four twisted pair wires (eight wires in total), with some being shielded while others are unshielded. Typically, the higher the category number, the greater the potential speed and capacity of the cable will be when directly linked to servers, switches, and network devices. Ethernet Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a are among the most widely used cable grades for standard domestic and office networks. For more demanding situations such as wired Gigabit Ethernet, higher categories such as Cat7 cables are preferred.
At The WiFi Specialist, we offer professional RJ45 cable and connector installation services to help you set up your wired network quickly and easily. Our team of experts will work with you to ensure that your network is installed and configured correctly, allowing you to take advantage of high-speed data transfer connections.
Our installation service includes the use of high-quality Ethernet or network communication cables, which are available in a range of categories such as Ethernet Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a. We can also provide Cat7 cables for more demanding situations.
To ensure the correct installation of your network cables, we use a range of tools, including crimping tools, wire cutters, and crimper tools. Our team will ensure that the cables are installed in the correct order, using the T568A and T568B wiring standards to create straight-through or crossover cables as required.
We understand that it can be confusing to choose the right type of cable and connector for your network and that the terminology can sound like a foreign language. That’s why we’re here to help. Our experts can advise you on the best cables and connectors to use for your specific needs, considering factors such as data transfer rate, capacity, and backwards compatibility and explain everything to you as we go.
With The WiFi Specialist, you can rest assured that your RJ45 cable and connector installation will be completed to the highest standards, ensuring a fast, reliable, and secure network connection.

What is an RJ45 connector?
An RJ45 connector is a type of modular connector commonly used for Ethernet networking. It is designed to terminate twisted pair cables, which are used to transmit data over a network.
What is the difference between a straight-through cable and a crossover cable?
A straight-through cable is used to connect a computer to a switch or a hub, while a crossover cable is used to connect two computers directly to each other. The wiring inside the RJ45 connector is different for these two types of cables, which is why they are not interchangeable.
What are the advantages of using an RJ45 connector?
RJ45 connectors are reliable, easy to use, and relatively inexpensive. They are also compatible with a wide range of devices, including computers, switches, and routers. Additionally, they are capable of transmitting data at high speeds, which makes them ideal for use in Ethernet networks.
