Ethernetliitännän

Ethernetliitännän, often referred to as an Ethernet port or network interface, is a standardized hardware interface for connecting devices to a local area network (LAN) using the Ethernet protocol. This connection allows for wired communication between computers, routers, switches, and other network-enabled devices. The most common form factor for Ethernetliitännän is the RJ45 connector, which is a modular plug with eight pins.

These ports are typically found on the rear or side panels of computers, laptops, routers, modems, and other networking equipment. The Ethernetliitännän facilitates the transmission of data packets over Ethernet cables, which are usually twisted-pair copper wires. The speed of data transfer through an Ethernetliitännän can vary depending on the Ethernet standard it supports, such as Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps), or even faster standards like 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

When an Ethernet cable is plugged into the Ethernetliitännän on two or more devices, they can establish a direct or indirect network connection. This allows for reliable and generally faster data transfer compared to wireless connections in many scenarios. The physical presence of an Ethernetliitännän indicates a device's capability for wired network connectivity.
