Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of network devices, and more particularly to a network cable controller. Background Technology

[0002] Network cables are a crucial component for internet data transmission, typically containing eight wires, each pair serving a specific function: pairs 1 and 2 (white / orange / orange) transmit data, pairs 3 and 6 (white / green / green) receive data, pairs 4 and 5 (blue / white / blue) transmit audio signals, and pairs 7 and 8 (brown / white / brown) provide cable shielding and grounding. Network cables are connected to RJ-45 connectors at both ends to form short-distance network device connections, primarily used for data transmission between PCs and network devices. However, this type of cable has limitations in terms of physical disconnection control. Since there are no controllable physical disconnections during the connection process, network disconnection can only be achieved by manually unplugging the RJ-45 connectors. Furthermore, due to varying cable locations, network cables can be difficult to plug and unplug in certain scenarios. For example, some computer hosts have network ports on the back of the host, making it difficult for operators to plug and unplug the network cable when the host is positioned below the desktop.

[0003] Furthermore, given the increasingly severe cybersecurity situation, developing a controllable network device connection cable is particularly important. This new type of connection cable should have a network disconnection function to enhance network security management capabilities. It should enable control over the network device connection cable, truly controlling the on / off state of network signal transmission. In practical applications, some scenarios involve inconvenient plugging and unplugging of network cable connectors, and data transmission cannot be automatically disconnected after the PC is powered off, failing to effectively protect information. Utility Model Content

[0004] Given that existing network cables lack controllable physical break points, cannot automatically disconnect data after PC power failure, and have inconvenient connector plugging and unplugging in some scenarios, this application is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a network cable controller, which has a controllable physical break point in the connecting cable when the network cable connector is inconvenient to plug or unplug, and realizes the disconnection of data transmission after the PC is powered off.
