## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4981:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4981:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

If you need to connect an RJ-45 cable (a.k.a Ethernet) to a board that doesn't have an Ethernet socket - this adapter will come in very handy!

This is an Ethernet (RJ-45) Terminal Block to Socket Adapter. There is a standard RJ-45 Ethernet socket on one end and a terminal block on the other.

**No soldering required**! Just unscrew the terminal blocks and slide in your stranded or solid-core wire.

Note that these aren't recommended for actual Ethernet traffic, especially long term... but for basic power/data distribution, RJ-45s are great!

[We also carry the matching Ethernet RJ-45 Male Plug Terminal Block.](https://core-electronics.com.au/ethernet-rj45-male-plug-terminal-block.html)
