At home you most likely have a well-wired network with Cat 5 or Cat 6 network cables. This means you have a perfectly working connection, but perhaps also a mess in your meter cupboard. Dozens of LAN cables come together in the meter cupboard, where the router is usually located. This is usually anything but clear. However, the solution is crystal clear.
At home you most likely have a well-wired network with Cat 5 or Cat 6 network cables. This means you have a perfectly working connection, but perhaps also a mess in your meter cupboard. Dozens of LAN cables come together in the meter cupboard, where the router is usually located. This is usually anything but clear.
The solution for this is an RJ45 grommet. This is a cable grommet that protects the RJ45 connector . This is a rubber cover that is slid over the RJ45 connector. It is important to first attach the grommet to the cable and then attach the connector. If you do this in reverse order, the tulle will no longer be able to go over it.
RJ45 grommets are available in various colors. So you can give your internet cables their own color, so that you can immediately see where each cable comes from. For example, red for the bedroom, yellow for the study or blue for the living room. This way you make your meter cupboard a lot clearer and more organized.
An additional advantage of an RJ45 grommet is that it completely closes the connection between the connector and cable. This prevents dust from entering and reduces the chance of malfunctions.
