Ethernetportti

Ethernetportti is the Finnish term for an Ethernet port. It is a common connector for networking devices, allowing them to connect to a local area network (LAN) or the internet. Typically, an Ethernet port is a physical interface that accepts an Ethernet cable, most commonly an RJ45 connector. These ports are found on a wide variety of devices, including computers, routers, switches, modems, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and many other networked appliances.

The primary function of an Ethernet port is to facilitate wired network communication. When a device is plugged into an Ethernet port, it establishes a direct physical connection to the network. This generally provides a more stable and often faster connection compared to wireless alternatives like Wi-Fi. The speed of the connection through an Ethernet port depends on the Ethernet standard supported by both the port and the connected device, with common speeds including 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), and 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Higher speeds, such as 10 Gbps and beyond, are also available in more specialized applications. The physical appearance of an Ethernet port is usually an 8-pin modular connector.
