Episode 43: Adapter and Connector Types — RJ45, USB C, Molex, SC

This episode breaks down the many adapter and connector types you're likely to encounter in hardware installation and cabling questions. Starting with RJ45, we explore its use in Ethernet connections, cable crimping, and its role in structured cabling. From there, we cover USB C, highlighting its reversible design, support for data, power, and video transmission, and how it's becoming the universal connector across platforms.

We also review older power connectors like Molex, which are still used in legacy devices, and delve into fiber connectors such as SC and LC, which are frequently referenced in enterprise cabling environments. By learning to visually identify and functionally distinguish each connector type, you'll be better equipped to interpret exam questions that rely on naming conventions or image-based prompts.
