Textures and Treasure Hunt

3rd Hour
Connector Treasure Hunt
Don’t let this happen to you:
You’ve just landed your first awesome interactive media job and your boss asks you to get a rj45 network cable. You walk into a room in the back of the studio and it looks like a radio shack exploded. There are 100’s of different cables. Which one is the rj45? You can remember, your cell can’t get a signal so Google is out of the question. You return to your boss and say, “Uhhh I’m not sure what a rj45 looks like.”
Find pictures of the following connectors (both plug and jack) and make a powerpoint slide for each type. Identify how these connectors are used (audio, video, data, etc). Some of the connectors will have multiple uses.
