- rj-45 connector
- Posted by L.D. on January 18th, 2004
Got a used computer other day that had an adapter to the 9 pin connector
on the back enabling it to take rj-45 ethernet plug. what would this
have been used for. Can you do networking with it? If so how where can I
find info. on it . I've made a search without success.

Could be used for anything except Ethernet. I have one I used for emulation
a few years ago.

I have used something similar as a serial cable to Telnet onto a Nokia IP440
firewall.

It has been a very long time since I last saw one of these. The
9-pin connector on the back of the computer is a serial port. And
these were the adapters allowing connections, typically to Novell
netware LAN's.

Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) systems using Serial ports. Allows use

terminals.
Has a couple of benefits, don't need special serial connector wallports
or dedicated runs of serial cable. The terminals can be moved around as
needed.

It's just a DB9-RJ45 adapter. It's commonly used to
telnet/console into various networking equipment (eg Cisco
routers/switches/etc) or simplify cabling for long (serial)
cable runs as most infrastructures already incorporate RJ45/UTP
patch panels.
It is not an ethernet adapter.
