RJ45 is a connector that is used to connect devices to networks through a cable that can have up to 8 wires inside, the connector has these 8 pins, although not all of them are always used.The RJ45 connector can be male or female, although the most common is to see the male in computer network cables, also to connect to a wall and make the connection more comfortable, a female connector can be used, these connectors are also in switch home or business type to connect multiple RJ45 cables, the QNAP QGD-1600P reviewed here has 16 RJ45 connections for up to 16 devices.It is also called rj45 cable to the network cable, this can be direct or crossed, there are several types of each one.The RJ45 connector can be attached to the network cable in an industrial way or we can do it manually with a crimper, a tool similar to pliers in the shape of the RJ45 connector to nail the connectors right onto the cables.The most common way to make an RJ45 cable is the direct one, this is used to connect a computer equipment and a switch, router or hub, direct connection with other computer equipment is not possible, the color combination at both ends of the crossed cable isBeing the same combination at the other end and using the 8 cables to get a 1000 Mbps connection which is the fastest for home use.The RJ45 connector is the standard connector in home networks, since it allows you to connect not only computers, we can find this connector in televisions, game consoles, TV boxes, printers and other household peripherals, although lately the type of Wi-Fi connection for other types of devices, although for more reliable communications the home network with the network cable and RJ45 connector is always preferable, in this way our communications will also be faster, avoiding the inconveniences of wireless networks.The RJ45 is used to connect devices in networks, whether they are computers or domestic devices that have this connection, with the RJ45 connector we will have a more reliable and secure connection.The RJ45 connector is used in network cables for this type of interconnection, mostly domestic, where we can connect several computers or devices with this connector and share an Internet connection, a file server, a printer or communicate between the different devices connected to the home network via the RJ45 connector.With this connector you can connect your game console or PC to the Internet, today most game consoles or PCs have a fast Wi-Fi connection so that the Internet connection does not depend on a cable and this is not a limitation, if your game console is desktop and you have the possibility, you can choose to connect it through a network cable and its RJ45 connection to the internet, so you can get a better connection speed and a lower ping when playing online.With a faster connection we will also be able to download video games and/or updates more quickly.The same happens with the PC, if you are going to play online, with this type of connection you will have better results.With an RJ45 connector and if you have a network printer, you can connect it to this network to be able to print from any device connected to it and that allows printing, for example, we can print from any computer connected to the same network as the printer.Another utility is to use a media server through the home network, we can connect a NAS to our home network and share content through DLNA, files to one or more PCs or Macs, or even make backup copies.If we also have a shared internet connection on that network, with the Synology NAS we can create servers for gaming chat applications like Mumble.End of Article.Tell us something in our Forum!Computer Engineer by training, writer and hardware analyst at Geeknetic since 2011.
