Best Answer

Connections to a network depend on the topology and cable type you are using. If we take the most common connection it is via UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cabling, utilizing an RJ-45 connector. This connector takes 8 wires in a modular connection on the cable.

Plug one end of the cable into a network interface card on your PC, and the other end to a network connection, which may be a switch, router, hub, etc. The EIA/TIA structured cabling guidelines 568A/B will tell you much more about these types of connections.
