Which connector is commonly referred to as RJ45 plug?

• A. banana plug
• B. HDMI plug
• C. RJ45 plug
• D. tip ring sleeve

Answer: (C)

In Ethernet networks, the plug at the end of the network cable is the modular eight-position connector that mates with an RJ45 jack on devices. People commonly call this end the RJ45 plug, even though the formal name for the plug is actually 8P8C. The RJ45 designation has become the everyday shorthand because it matches the RJ45 jack used on computers, switches, and routers. The other options belong to different families: banana plugs are for test leads and speaker wires, HDMI plugs carry digital video and audio, and tip–ring–sleeve refers to a basic audio connector. So the RJ45 plug is the one most people call the RJ45 plug.
