Weird internet port

It is new thing ? My lan cable can't get in...

What laptop is that? 

 

Looks like it would fit an RJ11/12, but it's also wide enough to fit a RJ45. 

 

It kind of looks like the port will move down slightly to allow an RJ45 to be plugged in.

So it can fit a normal lan or not? And the model is lenovo  mckn6p4k

It's a standard RJ45-port, just a thin variant. Pull the lever down, plug your cable in.

It works like a human jaw.  As you insert the standard connector the bottom half opens like a person's mouth opens.  If you have further questions on how the mechanics work then pornhub can provide you video tutorials.

In order to make laptops even thinner the thickness of the standard RJ-45 port actually became a hindrance. In light of this manufacturers found a way to shrink it by making the port collapse when you don't need it and expand to full size when you do. Pull down the bottom tab it's a normal RJ-45 network port.

I have one of those on my work Dell.

 

You can push down the lever with the tab side of the cable when inserting.

Another concern... those are sometimes a pain to remove the cable. I usually pinch the connector and then use my other hand to slightly pull the "jaw" down to remove the cable. 

 

Also be grateful. Manufactures are now removing them completely, and now charging extra to buy an adapter from USB-C/Thunderbolt to RJ45.
