No, that's a Network adapter.

The RJ-45 port is a Serial console. It is a DB9 connector in a different style (Cisco, Dell, Juniper, Force, HP have been doing it for years). If your machine has a 9 pin Serial, you'd require this: https://www.thebarcodewarehouse.co.uk/shop/cisco/accessories/Cisco-Cables/AIR-CONCAB1200/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlv_XBRDrARIsAH-iRJSK4ry8nXQNGaT8sp7puVEk1VpwfNr6qOoonJWRQnu5A3cicSjZIcYaAm9VEALw_wcB Where the DB9 end is connected to the machines serial port and the RJ45 in to the console port on the switch. If not, there are USB adapters (which I use) such as one of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06Y4XNMT1/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1

Right off the bat, I do not have experience with the AC Mesh products (yet I have an upcoming project that may require them). However, I have plenty of experience with other Ubiquiti products. The Ubiquiti products in general are among the easiest I have ever configured with top tier through-put. The use of a central management machine (be that the Ubiquiti software installed on a machine or the cloud key) isn't a must, but really does improve the administration and monitoring of the eco-system. As I understand, the non-Mesh products can do mesh networking, however the throughput is much lower. One thing to note though is if you are using a PoE switch is that some of the AP's are not standard PoE (802.11af 48v) and actually use a 'Passive' 24v system instead which limits you to Ubiquiti kit or the power injectors supplied with the AP's. An alternative would be to take a look at Meraki equipment, however it is by far more expensive with little performance gain in non-congested or heavily traffic'd networks. TL:DR: I really like them and would recommend them. Other AP's I've used: Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Netgear, Zxyel, Ruckus

Questioning why this is under the Displays section of Computer Hardware... oh well. Anyway, to answer your question. Serial via the D-Sub cables (DE-9/DB-9) is still pretty popular.... in enterprise. Network equipment that has a management console will typically have a DB-9 for direct access to the systems console. UPS and servers typically used to use them as well for relaying the UPS state to a server it was connected to. However, despite this the serial connector is going the way of the Dodo. Cisco have moved from a serial connector in the form of a DB-9 to an RJ-45. (as it is smaller and the cable less bulky) APC with their Serial consoles on their UPS's have also done the same. The serial connector is considered a Legacy port (same as the Mouse/Keyboard PS/2 port (which became classed as Legacy in 2001)) but it doesn't mean that people will stop using them. (Other Legacy Ports)

I need help Finding Pumps
zanginator replied to Chemically's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
The Koolance pump is a Laing DDC with a slightly modified outer housing. So yes any Laing pump will fit on it. However, the Alphacool one listed (although it looks similar) it does not meet the same specifications as a normal Laing DDC pump. I can not say for certain it would fit. -
Pretty cool thing you are doing. An idea for if you repeat this sort of thing is get someone else to come up with the benchmark. But not to announce the benchmark until the end of the build or during the tweaking phase.

Nvidia, please drop the voltage limitation. If someone wants to fry their card, let them

Do I spot somewhere to mount a reservoir next to the PCI expansion bays? My only gripe looking at this case would definitely be that glossy plastic, it just looks out of place.

Show off your old and retro computer parts

Certainly will be, thinking it might be easier to locate one of the old IBM Ultra Series workstations instead. -
Was worried going through this thread, thinking "Why is there no love for Opera". Although the resource usage is not an issue for me, Opera in my experience is by far the lightest on resources.

Not my one of my oldest, but definitely a favourite. (just need to source a motherboard) -
As legopc says, sounds like a DHCP serving issue. Resetting the router (or device that is doing the DHCP serving) may not be enough and you may have to clear the DHCP table for the changes to properly occur.

Your internet (if that is your upload stated) will likely be the bottleneck before the machine. (Definitely with games like Minecraft) You could just install Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS/14.04 and install SSH so you can remote into the console from another machine using a client like Putty. Don't know why you are stating that you wish to install XAMPP as that is for website hosting, not game server hosting.

Connection Speeds? He may also be required to open specific ports on the router/firewall to allow for a stable connection.

Ping is literally the time it takes for your message to reach the target and come back. Without route optimization (to take a shorter route through less hops) or faster lines between all the hops from you to the target, there is no way to lower the ping. You may even be running into the limitation of how quickly an electrical/optical signal can travel over large distances such as from NZ to the US. Bandwidth does play a roll in how fast the signal can travel, but not as large a roll as the distance the signal itself has to travel does.
