RJ45 connectors
Each connector has sharp prongs inside that, when crimped, pierce the insulation of the wire and connect
with the conductor. Ethernet cables may have solid or stranded wire conductors and the sharp prongs are
different in the connectors made for each type of wire. Connectors for solid (single strand) wire often have
three slightly splayed prongs on each contact to securely surround and grip the conductor.
Connectors for stranded wires have prongs that are designed to connect to multiple wire strands.
Connector plugs are designed for either solid or stranded wire; a plug for one wire type might not make
reliable contact when crimped to a cable with wires of the other type.
IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER pull the network cables from the connector for any reason. Always pull the
network cable from the cable itself.
