Network Connectors
All Network connector types with specifications and compatibility.
Network connectors provide wired data connectivity for local area networks and telecommunications. RJ-45 is the dominant connector for Ethernet, supporting speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps depending on the cable category. SFP and SFP+ modules serve enterprise and data center environments with 10/25/100 Gbps fiber connections. Coaxial F-type connectors remain standard for cable broadband and television delivery.
Coax F-Type
Threaded coaxial connector for cable TV, satellite, and antenna connections. 75Ω impedance. Found on cable modems, TV tuners, and set-top boxes worldwide.
LC Fiber
Small-form-factor fiber optic connector used in data centers and telecom. LC duplex is the most common fiber connector in modern enterprise networking.
MPO/MTP
Multi-fiber push-on connector with 12, 24, or 72 fibers in a single ferrule. Essential for high-density data center interconnects running 40G/100G/400G Ethernet.
QSFP28
Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable transceiver for 100GbE networking. Four 25G lanes in a hot-swappable module. The backbone of modern data center spine-leaf architectures.
RJ11
Smaller telephone connector with 4 or 6 pins. Used for landline phones, DSL modems, and fax machines. Being phased out as copper telephone lines are …
RJ45
Standard Ethernet connector with 8 pins, found on routers, switches, and computers. Supports speeds from 100 Mbps (Cat5e) to 40 Gbps (Cat8).
RP-SMA
Reverse-polarity SMA connector for Wi-Fi antennas on routers and access points. Screw-on coupling ensures vibration resistance. Used on aftermarket antenna upgrades.
SC Fiber
Square push-pull fiber optic connector popular in data centers and FTTH installations. Larger than LC but easier to handle in tight spaces. Available in single-mode …
SFP
Small Form-factor Pluggable transceiver for high-speed networking. Hot-swappable modules used in enterprise switches and routers. SFP+ supports 10 Gbps, SFP28 supports 25 Gbps.
ST Fiber
Bayonet-style fiber optic connector common in older LAN installations. Round metal body with a twist-lock mechanism. Being replaced by LC and SC in new deployments.
