One. RJ-45 is a specification for a certain style of connector.

There are several TYPES of RJ-45 connector and the differences in them are in regards to the types of cable to be used in them. Some examples are, "Stranded wire" to be used with stranded (more flexible) conductors, "Solid Conductor" to be used to terminate cables with a solid wire and "Universal" which may work on either.

The specific difference in them is in the spades that are designed to cut through the insulator and provide a mechanical connection with the conductor inside upon crimping. While the "Stranded" specific type has more of a flat blade design, the "Solid" specific spades are designed with three "fingers" which straddle the solid conductor on both sides and the Universal spade is somewhat of a hybrid between the two.

From my experiences, the only real problem arises when you try to use a stranded version RJ-45 on a solid conductor wire. When this is done, the solid spade simply skips off to one side of the solid conductor after it pierces the insulator. While this may very well be touching the connector and providing a connection at first, any flex or age leads to a very intermittent connection at best and you'll be troubleshooting this connection in very little time.

I've not had a problem using the other versions on the other types of cables: Universal on either or Solid spade on stranded wire.

What type of cable is used to connect two user devices?

You would use a Cat5e Ethernet Wire....if no network switch is present then it may need to be a Reverse Network wire which is also known as a Crossover Wire. This means that the Orange and Green wire pairs are Reversed/Cossed Over on 1 end of the wire. Many modern devices will operate without requiring a crossover cable.

How many type of networking cable?

Mainly 5 types of cables are used in computer networking.1. Twisted pair cable - Twisted pair cabling is a form of wiring in which two conductors (the forward and return conductors of a single circuit) are twisted together for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources; for instance, electromagnetic radiation from unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables, and crosstalk between neighboring pairs.2. Optical fiber cable - An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed.3. Coaxial cable - Coaxial lines confine the electromagnetic wave to the area inside the cable, between the center conductor and the shield. The transmission of energy in the line occurs totally through the dielectric inside the cable between the conductors. Coaxial lines can therefore be bent and twisted (subject to limits) without negative effects, and they can be strapped to conductive supports without inducing unwanted currents in them.4. Patch cable - A patch cable is an electrical or optical cable, used to connect one electronic or optical device to another for signal routing. Devices of different types (ie: a switch connected to a computer, or switch to router) are connected with patch cords. It is a very fast connection speed. Patch cords are usually produced in many different colors so as to be easily distinguishable, and are relatively short, perhaps no longer than two metres.5. Ethernet crossover cable - An Ethernet crossover cable is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect computing devices together directly where they would normally be connected via a network switch, hub or router, such as directly connecting two personal computers via their network adapters.
