Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of signal transmission, and in particular to a connector structure. Background Art

[0002] The traditional connector structure uses a dual RJ45 interface to extend the network connection. When connecting, you first need to connect the cable to the crystal head, and then insert the crystal head into the extension module with an RJ45 interface. When the cable is connected to the crystal head, you need to use a special network cable pliers tool to first strip the cable and press it onto the crystal head. When installing the cable at a high position above the ground, you need to carry a network cable pliers tool to install the crystal head. The network cable pliers are easy to fall during the installation process, which is not only difficult to carry and use, but also affects the personal safety of the operator, resulting in poor convenience of the connector structure and cable connection installation.
