| Such connector / plug terminates flat stranded cable, such as Cat5 8X8, in data applications. Without a plug it would be impossible to connect an ethernet cable into a computer port, and RJ45 seems to be the most wide-spread type of plug. | Such connector / plug terminates flat stranded cable, such as Cat5 8X8, in data applications. RJ45 has eight pins to which the eight wire strands of a cable are connected electrically inside of the RJ45 plug. Notation "Cat5 8X8" means that the ethernet cable is of the type "Category 5" with 8 wire strands (narrow wires inside if the common enclosure of a cable). Without a plug it would be impossible to connect an ethernet cable into a computer port, and RJ45 seems to be one of the the most wide-spread type of plug. |

If the connection between the ethernet cable, such as Cat5 8X8, and the computer becomes flaky, then it is necessary either to replace the whole cable, or to cut off the old RJ45 plug together with a short piece of ethernet cable, and to install a new RJ45 plug.
Below is a short algorithm how to reinstall a new RJ45 plug.
