1. What is the RJ45 interface
RJ45 is a kind of information socket (ie, communication terminal) connector in the wiring system. The connector consists of a plug (connector, crystal head) and a socket (module). The plug has 8 grooves and 8 contacts. RJ is the abbreviation of Registered Jack, which means "registered jack". In FCC (Federal Communications Commission Standards and Regulations), RJ is an interface that describes a public telecommunication network, and RJ45 of a computer network is a common name for a standard 8-bit modular interface.
2. What is the difference between RJ45 interface and ordinary network interface
Both the LAN interface and the RJ45 interface are network connection interfaces, although there are certain differences between them. The LAN interface refers to the interface of the local area network. The RJ45 interface refers to the interface that the RJ45 network cable can be plugged into, which may be a LAN or a WAN (wide area network). The LAN interface is the RJ45 interface, but the RJ45 is not necessarily the LAN interface.
A local area network refers to a group of computers formed by interconnecting multiple computers in a certain area. The common one is computer sharing between our computers. The local area network can realize functions such as file management, printer sharing, e-mail and fax communication services. A local area network is a closed type, which can consist of two computers in an office or thousands of computers in a company.
RJ45 is a kind of information socket (communication terminal) connector in the wiring system. The connector consists of a plug (connector, crystal head) and a socket (module). RJ45 is divided into many kinds, there are 8-slot 4/6/8 lines, 4 lines are PBX extensions, 6 lines are data serial ports, and 8 lines are LAN, which is network lines.
RJ45 interface and LAN interface are both indispensable parts of network connection. They work in different network environments, play different roles, and serve our network life.
