Advantages of RJ-45

• RJ11 connectors can support a bandwidth of around 24 Mbps.
• RJ11 connectors are commonly used for low-speed data transfer.
• It is cheap and reliable.
• RJ11 connectors are 4P4C wiring standards, meaning they have six positions with four conductors.
• RJ11 connectors can be used to connect voice or data devices to a central router or modem, especially in small sized networks.
• RJ11 splitters can connect multiple devices, such as a phone and a modem, to one phone line.

Disadvantages of RJ-11 and RJ-45

• Using an RJ11 connector on an Ethernet port can cause slow data transfer.
• Using an RJ45 connector on a telephone line can cause noise interference or permanent damage to your phone system. RJ45 connectors are more flexible than RJ11.
