Descriptions
The term "CAT5E RJ45 8P8C UTP 1 port surface mount box" refers to a specific type of networking equipment used in structured cabling systems, often in both residential and commercial settings.
Here's a breakdown of each component:
CAT5E: This refers to Category 5e Ethernet cable, which is a type of twisted pair cable used for carrying signals such as Ethernet (LAN) over short distances. CAT5E supports speeds up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) and is backward compatible with older standards like CAT5.
RJ45: This is a standard connector used for Ethernet cables and has 8 pins (8P8C - 8 positions, 8 conductors). It's the most common type of connector used in Ethernet connections for connecting computers to networks.
UTP: Stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It's a type of cable where pairs of wires are twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.
1 port: Indicates that the surface mount box has space for one RJ45 connector. This means it can accommodate one Ethernet connection point.
Surface mount box: This is the housing or enclosure that holds the RJ45 jack and provides a mounting point on a wall or other surface. It's designed to be installed easily in visible locations where cables need to terminate.
In summary, a "CAT5E RJ45 8P8C UTP 1 port surface mount box" is a compact housing that allows you to mount and connect one Ethernet cable termination point (RJ45 connector) on a wall or other surface, using CAT5E cable for network connectivity. These are commonly used in homes, offices, and other places where structured network cabling is required.
Main Features
The main feature of a CAT5E RJ45 8P8C UTP 1 port surface mount box is its design for terminating and organizing network cables conveniently in surface-mounted installations.
Here are the key features:
CAT5E Compatibility: It supports CAT5E Ethernet cables, which are capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
RJ45 Connector: It has an RJ45 connector, which is standard for Ethernet connections and ensures compatibility with most networking equipment.
8P8C Configuration: The 8P8C (8 positions, 8 contacts) configuration matches the RJ45 standard used for Ethernet connections.
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): It is designed for use with unshielded twisted pair cables, which are common for Ethernet networks in most residential and commercial applications.
1 Port: This indicates that the surface mount box has provisions for connecting one Ethernet cable or port.
Surface Mount Design: It is specifically designed to be mounted on surfaces such as walls or desks, providing a neat and accessible termination point for network connections.
Termination Box: It provides a secure housing for terminating Ethernet cables, protecting the connection points and facilitating organized cable management.
Overall, the CAT5E RJ45 8P8C UTP 1 port surface mount box is ideal for creating a single Ethernet connection point in locations where in-wall wiring may not be feasible or where easy accessibility is desired.
