Ethernet cables, also known as RJ-45 cables, are used in computer networking and deliver data between computers on the internet. The cable's port resembles a standard phone cable, although it is roughly twice as big. Any Internet connection in your home or office, other than dial up, use Ethernet cables to connect to the Internet.

Thanks
