The role of LEDs in RJ Ethernet connectors


The green light on most network interfaces represents the network speed, while the yellow light represents data transmission.
Although various network devices are different, in general:
Green light: long light—represents 100M; no light—represents 10M.
Yellow light: long on — means no data is being sent or received; flashing — means data is being sent or received
The Gigabit Ethernet port (1000M) directly distinguishes the status according to the color, not bright: 10M/green: 100M/yellow: 1000M.

With the advent and popularization of 5G networks, the original lowest 10M network has been replaced by a 100M network.

If one LED on the RJ network port is always on, it usually indicates a 100M network or higher, while the other LED flashes, indicating that data is being transmitted. Subject to network equipment.

In order to reduce costs, some low-end network ports have only one LED. A long light indicates that the network is connected, and a blinking indicates data transmission. These are all completed by the same LED.

The LED in the RJ network port connector provides us with a more intuitive help to distinguish the status of the network equipment. With the changes in market demand, the RJ connector with LED is a better choice for selection.
