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. How do I crimp a modular plug correctly?
A special crimping tool is required to ensure that the wires are arranged in the correct order (such as T568A/T568B Ethernet standards).
-
4. Does the metal contact material of the modular plug affect performance?
Yes, high-quality plugs usually have gold-plated contacts (such as 50 micro-inch gold) to improve corrosion resistance and conductivity and reduce signal loss.
