6-Pin RJ-12

The RJ-12 connector has 6-position, 6-conductor arranged in a single

row. This connector is used for voice/data applications: telephone
(two-line), networking, extended-distance peripherals.

4-Pin RJ-11
The wiring scheme for a single line phone was identified as "RJ11",
and the name stuck to describe the connector used on a phone cord.
Today, RJ-11 is widely used in the connectivity industry to denote a 6-
position, 4-conductor modular connector or jack.

RJ-45
An 8-position, 8-conductor modular connector that is most often used
for data networks such as Ethernet. RJ-45 connectors are physically
wider than the RJ-11/12 connectors used for telephone. In network
applications, RJ-45 cable assemblies are used to connect from a
patch panel to a network switch, and also to connect a computer's NIC
to a data port.

ST -
The ST connector was one of the first connector types widely
implemented in fiber optic networking applications. Originally
developed by AT&T, it stands for Straight Tip connector. ST
connections use a 2.5mm ferrule with a round plastic or metal body.
The connector stays in place with a "twist-on/twist-off" bayonet-style
mechanism. Although extremely popular for many years, the ST
connector is slowly being supplanted by smaller, denser connections
in
SC
SC connectors also use a round 2.5mm ferrule to hold a single fiber.
They use a push-on/pull-off mating mechanism which is generally
easier to use than the twist-style ST connector when in tight spaces.

DB-9
A DB9 connector has 9 pins arranged in two rows, with one row on top
of the other. The top row has 5 pins and the lower row has 4 pins. This
interface is commonly used for RS-232 serial applications.

BNC
Short for Bayonet Neill Concelman connector, (sometimes erroneously
called a British Naval Connector or Bayonet Nut Connector, a type
of connector used with coaxial cables such as the RG-58 A/U cable
used with the 10Base-2 Ethernet system. The basic BNC connector is
a male type mounted at each end of a cable. This connector has a
center pin connected to the center cable conductor and a metal tube
connected to the outer cable shield. A rotating ring outside the tube
locks the cable to any female connector.

NIC : Often abbreviated as NIC, an expansion board you insert into a computer so the
computer can be connected to a network. Most NICs are designed for a particular type
of network, protocol, and media, although some can serve multiple networks.
