How to Connect a Wall Plug Connector of RJ 45 Cable

All RJ-45 connectors look much like phone jacks and are used in Cat 5 wiring systems for data transfer. When setting up a Cat 5 system in your home, the installation will be much cleaner if the data cabling terminates in wall jacks into which you can plug cables connecting your computer or other devices into the system. Wiring this wall plug connector must be done with care to ensure proper data flow.
