1. What is the difference between modular plugs and modular jacks?
A plug is a male connector with metal contacts, while a jack is a female connector that is usually mounted on a device or panel.
-
2. How to choose the right modular plug?
The choice depends on application requirements, such as the number of conductors, transmission rate, shielding requirements (STP/UTP), and durability.
-
3. What are RJ45 plugs suitable for?
RJ45 plugs are mainly used in Ethernet networks (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7), and can also be used in industrial automation and serial communications.
-
4. What is the difference between shielded (STP) and unshielded (UTP) modular plugs?
STP plugs have an additional metal shielding layer to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and are suitable for industrial and high-interference environments, while UTP is suitable for general network environments.
