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. What are the common types of modular plugs?
The main types include RJ9, RJ11, RJ12, RJ45, and RJ50, with RJ45 being most commonly used for network connections (Ethernet).
-
3. 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.
-
4. Can modular plugs be reused?
In general, it is not recommended to reuse crimped plugs because the deformation of the pins may cause poor contact and affect signal transmission.
