Connecting a Network Cable

A network cable has an 8-pin RJ-45 connector at each end. A
network cable is provided with most notebooks, but may be
purchased separately from most electronics retailers. If the
network cable contains noise suppression circuitry, which
prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the
circuitry end of the cable toward the notebook.
