When we talk about RJ45 ("Registered Jack" 45) we refer to a telecommunications network interface for wired connection of voice and data equipment.

This connector has 8 pins or connections and may have a specific category depending on the data transfer speed and bandwidth (category 5e, 6, etc.)

The common application is their use in Ethernet network cables under TIA/EIA-568-B standard that defines the arrangement of pins (pinout), but can also be used for other applications.

Pin No.4: BLUE
Pin No.5: WHITE-BLUE
Pin No.6: ORANGE
Pin No.7: WHITE-BROWN
Pin No.8: BROWN

- Schematic of crossed pins:

The crossover cable has one end with EIA-568A scheme and the other one with EIA-568B.

Depending on the quality and type, network cables are classified into categories that help us know the characteristics of them.

The categories of network cables most commonly used are:

- Category 5
- Category 5e
- Category 6
- Category 6
- Category 7

As can be seen, category 5e (enhanced or improved) and category 6A (Augmented), are an improvement of categories 5and 6, respectively, which it has improved the top speed and bandwidth.

The higher the category, the higher the speed of maximum data, the maximum 100 meters distance as its standard.

You can see a table which shows the 5 categories, where V is the maximum velocity, D is the maximum and MHz frequency which can work away.

The electrical mechanisms are indispensable in any installation of a house, office, etc. The mechanisms can be of several types depending on where the installation is performed.

• Recessed interior mechanisms: Ideal for indoor use.
• Mechanisms of interior in surface: Ideal for the use in interiors without necessity to realize work.
• Exterior mechanisms: Ideal for outdoor use andGarages

Within each type of installation is where we can find different mechanisms depending on the function we need. The most common electrical mechanisms in an electrical installation are:

1. Simple switch: The mechanism that serves to turn the light on or off at one point.
2. Switch: This is the same mechanism above, but this allows to turn the light on or off from two points diIngs.
3. Crossover switch: Same as above but allows turning off and on the light from three different points.
4. Pushbutton: Normally used for timbres or steps with light and on/off timer.
5. Regulator: It allows to control the level of power of light.
6. TV socket TDT/SAT: Connections for TV, radio, and/or satellite connection.
7. Base schuko: TomaCurrent based on neutral, line and ground.
8. Telephone or network socket: Bases for telecommunications, networks or telephone.
