A network nut, or network adapter, is an object used to connect an internet cable to network devices or devices that need to use the same connection. Conventional network cables (cat5 network cables, cat6 network cables) are necessary to use network nuts to be able to connect network cables to the terminals.
Common RJ45 network nut
Hạt mạng thường được làm từ chất liệu nhựa tinh khiết hoặc tái chế. Thông thường những loại hạt mạng chính hãng được làm bằng nhựa tinh khiết sẽ dẻo, trong suốt và có độ cứng nhất định, không giòn. Riêng hạt mạng làm bằng nhựa tái chế có màu đục hơn độ bền không được đảm bảo. Ngoài ra, một số loại hạt mạng có lớp vỏ bọc ngoài bằng kim loại làm từ chất liệu sắt hoặc thép có tác dụng chống nhiễu. Nhưng do làm từ chất liệu kim loại nên dễ bị oxi hóa sẽ ảnh hường tới chất lượng truyền dẫn nên ít được sử dụng.

Contact points in network beads: Including 8 points usually made of gold-plated alloy to limit rust and increase the ability to transmit network signals to the device.
Network nut slot: Located inside the network particle, it separates the eight core wires of the network cable and fixed, limiting the position of the network wire is changed.
Network cable core plug: Located deep inside the network nut works to fix the network wires to ensure the contact point of the network cable is always stable and the network signal transmitted to the device is always guaranteed.
A genuine network of good quality will surely bring about results of fast network transmission. And the type of RJ45 network nut can be considered as the current common type of network particle with stable quality that is popular with many users. It divides the material with the cables so you should know two types of cat5 and cat6 network beads. So, these two types of network particles have different characteristics, how to distinguish the two types of Cat5 and Cat6 network particles? Let's refer to the following section immediately.
Differentiate between network types cat5 and cat6
Network cat5 beads
Genuine cat5 network beads are made of transparent plastic material with high elasticity that helps to extend the life of using the maximum network beads. The inner structure of cat5 network with contact pin made of pure copper has antioxidant effect and ensures the contact signal is more stable on the transmission line. Cat5 cable is non-toxic, does not affect human health and is very friendly to the environment. And the network contact pins of cat5 network beads are equal so we can completely distinguish network particles based on this feature.
Network cat6 beads
The characteristics of AMP Cat6 network is made from pure plastic material with very high transparency and shine. If you look closely, you'll notice that the network particle's contact head is usually shorter, so it has a smaller contact area. The fact is that cat6 networks have slots (alternating contacts) and a long slot interspersed with 1. If you are having trouble identifying these two types of network particles, you just need to look at the contact heads of these two types of network particles to identify. The contact head of cat6 lattice is made of gold-plated alloy against rust, so the contact head of this type of lattice is usually gold with the naked eye can be easily identified. The selection of genuine cat6 network beads will make the speed and signal transmission ability guaranteed. Like cat5 network beads, cat6 network beads are also environmentally friendly and are not harmful to users' health.
Basically all types of network beads have the same structure but different in plastic material and use purpose adapted to each type of network cable. You should choose genuine network nuts to ensure better quality and data transfer speed.
