required materials.

A functional Ethernet network that includes an Ethernet router, switch, or a

they are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one,
and each has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called an
RJ-45 connector) is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A
phone connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.
