RJ-45 Plug and RJ-45 Connector

In a Fast Ethernet network, it is important that all 100BASE-T certified Category 5
cabling use RJ-45 plugs. The RJ-45 plug accepts 4-pair UTP or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) 100 ohm cable and connects into the RJ-45 connector. The RJ-45 connector is
used to connect stations, hubs, and switches through UTP cable; it supports 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps data transmission.
