UTP most commonly used network cable
Cat 5 and Cat 6 network cables (also called 10BaseT) use an RJ-45 connector. Older thinwire ethernet (10Base2) uses BNC coaxial connect. Original thickwire ethernet used a special thicker cable with a proprietary AUI connector. The old IBM Token Ring system also used its own special cabling and connectors.
An RJ-45 connector is the the connector at the end of a Cat-# cable (also known as a lan cable/network cable).

A thin coaxial cable that is used as a connector is also called a thinnet. It is popular in linear bus networks.

The most popular connectors found these days on the ends of network cables are commonly called RJ45 connectors.
Crimping tools are designed to connect a connector to a cable. It is used on phone cables as well as network cables. All you do is place the connector with wires into the tool and squeeze the handle.
