Coaxial cable and Ethernet cable each have individual ways of terminating and coupling. A coax cable consists of a plastic sheath, covering a copper shield, covering a plastic tube, where inside of the plastic tube is the actual copper wire. Because of all the shielding it makes coax a good cable to use for weak signals that are easily interfered, signals such as video, cable television, or microwave. The connectors for coax use tarnish resistant metals like gold or silver to maintain the signal. Couplers can be used that easily split the signal or to relay it to a single cable.

RJ45 modular (mod) plugs are used to terminate cat5e or cat6 cables which are an eight pin plug. They use all four of the twisted pair to connect the cable to a keystone jack which in turn is connected to another Ethernet cable, the Ethernet jack wiring would have to match the mod plug wiring (568A to 568A or 568B to 568B). The Ethernet plugs are made specifically for cat5e and cat6 variations, were they to be used with the wrong cable it would lower the performance of the cable to that of the lowest performing product. To connect an Ethernet cable to an RJ45 a crimping tool is used to crimp each wire onto the connecting pins found on the end of the Ethernet jacks. Ethernet connectors are essentially two Ethernet jacks together so that two RJ45 Ethernet jacks could be plugged in on either end and therefore extend a cable. Fiberglass Fish Tape is one item to have in your arsenal when installing cable as it can really save you time and energy in big cable projects.

If you came here looking for Ethernet Jacks, then you are definitely in the right place. We have so much selection in Ethernet Jacks and related items that you won't need to look anywhere else. Our Platinum EZ-RJ45 Modular Plugs have been a big hit this year. If you are looking for an adapter for Cat5e or Cat6 Crossover cables, we have the perfect solution in stock. We also have 10 packs of Ethernet/RJ45 Modular plugs for both Cat.5E and Cat.6. Now if you are working with Cat5 Enhanced or Cat6 you would also really enjoy our Platinum Tools EZ Snapjack. For your more standard Ethernet Jacks, we have both Kesystone Jacks and Keystone Couplers. We also have an Ethernet Jack that is completely Toolless. We know you will love that. It is offered at the same price as our Keystone Coupler. We literally have everything Ethernet Jack related. After all Ethernet Cable Supplies is what we do.

  B connectors are used for splicing copper wire in order to continue an electrical connection. Cablesupply only carries the best in these products so order your adapters and connectors here. Sometimes they are called Bean connectors. It really depends who you are talking to. Some people even call these Jelly Bean Connectors. These are used for tapping and splicing telephone wires. These are meant to be used to splice phone cable, not network cable like Cat5E or Cat6. The connections are called IDC connections. IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connection. This type of connection allows you to create a gas tight seal. This helps you avoid any kind of corrosion.

  A Registered Jack is a standardized telecommunication network interface for connecting voice and data equipment to a service provided by a local exchange carrier or long distance carrier. The specification includes physical construction, wiring, and signal semantics. Registered jacks are primarily named by the letters RJ, followed by two digits for the type. Suffixes indicate minor variations. RJ11, RJ14, and RJ25 are the most commonly used for telephones. Cable Supply offers a variety of Jacks and Modular Plugs.

  Coaxial cable or coax is a type of cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Many coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath. Coaxial cable is used as a transmission line for radio frequency signals. Its applications include connecting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas, computer network (Internet) connections, and distributing cable television signals. One advantage of coaxial over other types of radio transmission line is that in an ideal coaxial cable the electromagnetic field carrying the signal exists only in the space between the inner and outer conductors. This allows coaxial cable runs to be installed next to metal objects such as gutters without the power losses that occur in other types of transmission lines. Coaxial cable also provides protection of the signal from external electromagnetic interference. For your next coax installation or IT project, be sure that you have the exact coaxial needs met by purchasing your coax cable with us. We also have splitters and connectors to accessorize your telecommunication needs.
