Here at simple WiFi it can be difficult to know which connector is which and more importantly, which connector is on the product you are interested in purchasing. Hopefully this blog will help the customer understand the different connectors and where they are found. It would be worth noting that this is not a guide for how the products themselves work, but only the connection types.
We generally only use 3 types of connectors:
'N' Connector |
'SMA-RP' Connector |
'RJ45' Connector |
Male [LEFT] ----- Female [RIGHT] |
Male [LEFT] ----- Female [RIGHT] |
Male [BOTTOM] ----- Female [TOP] |
 |
 |
 |
Now that we have covered which types are which out of the connectors we use, let us try to find out where they are typically found on our products.
