    Study Notes

    Connector Types and Uses

    • RJ11: Six positions, two conductors (or sometimes more). Commonly used for phone connections and DSL modems. Smaller than RJ45.
    • RJ45: Eight positions, eight conductors. Commonly used for Ethernet connections but can have other uses. Larger than RJ11.
    • F Connector: Used with coaxial cables. Has a threaded connection for secure attachment. Common for cable television and cable internet (DOCSIS).

    Connectors in Specific Applications

    • Cable Modem: Uses male and female F connectors to connect coaxial cables.
    • Data Centers: Wiring blocks with punch-down connections for permanent wire attachment. Connectors are put on top of these wires (e.g., RJ45).
      • Punch down tool is used for wiring block.
      • Wiring block holds wires for easy management.
    • USB: Various types: standard A, B, mini B, micro B, USB-C.
      • USB C is double-sided, small. Used for various signals (serial, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort).
      • USB 3.0 standard A has additional pins to improve bandwidth.
    • Molex Connector: Four-pin power connector for computer components (hard drives, fans). Often found on computer power supplies.
    • Lightning Connector: Eight-pin connector used for data transfer and charging iPhones and iPads. Double-sided. Introduced when micro USB was prevalent. Increased power capacity.
    • DB9 Connector: D-subminiature connector with nine pins. Used for RS232 signals (e.g., modems). Presently used in data centers for managing switches and routers (fiber switch).
