RJ45 Cat6 connector is a standardized interface component designed for Category 6 network cables. Its core function is to achieve the stable connection between Gigabit network devices.

RJ45 stands for: Standardized 8-bit modular communication interface, consisting of a plug (crystal plug) and a socket, following the IEC 60603-7 international standard.

Cat6 stands for: Category 6 network cable uses Gigabit Ethernet as the mainstream transmission medium.

RJ45 Cat6 connector

This Cat6 RJ45 connector is designed to connect flat Ethernet or 8P8C phone cables to the PC.

The connector contains two metal "teeth" that hold the wires in place for a reliable connection.

These connectors are easy to connect to the PC and can be used for custom-length cables.

What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5

What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5?

index Cat5 Cat6
‌Transmission rate Maximum 100Mbps (theoretically supports Gigabit but limited in distance) Standard support 1Gbps (support 10Gbps within 55 meters)
bandwidth ‌100MHz 250MHz (2.5 times higher)
Gigabit transmission distance ≤55 meters (1000BASE-T protocol support required) 100m full distance stable support

Purchase suggestions ‌

‌Cat5 applicable conditions‌: limited budget, network below 100 Mbps, short-distance wiring requirements. ‌

Cat6 must-have scenarios‌: Gigabit and above network, full-house smart home coverage, network upgrade plan for the next 5 years.
