The two different cable connectors that I chose to talk about are the RJ45 and RJ11 connectors. RJ45 connectors are also called ethernet cords or cables and they serve the purpose of directly connecting a device to the internet router. People use ethernet nowadays to ensure a more stable connection than WiFi and possibly to get faster internet speeds for gaming. RJ11 connectors though, are not as commonly used in newer devices but they are mainly used for connecting phones, modems, and fax machines to the wall jack or telephone line. Even though RJ11 connectors are being used mainly for older technology they’re still very effective and reliable in sending out and receiving signals from other devices and relaying the input and output to the user. RJ45 cables are also considered to be a twisted pair type of cable while RJ11 is a coaxial type of cable.
