[0002] Network interface refers to various interfaces of network equipment. The network interface we are using now is Ethernet interface. The typical interface type of billing system hardware is RJ-45 Ethernet interface. RJ-45 interface is the most common network equipment interface we are using now, commonly known as "crystal head", and the professional term is RJ-45 connector, which belongs to twisted pair Ethernet interface type. RJ-45 plug can only be inserted in a fixed direction, and a plastic spring is provided to block the RJ-45 socket to prevent falling off. This interface can be used in 10Base-T Ethernet, 100Base-TX Ethernet and 1000Base-TX Ethernet, and the transmission medium is twisted pair.
