Glossary

LAN (RJ-45)

The presence of a LAN connector (RJ-45) makes it possible for the card reader/hub to work as a LAN adapter.

This port is commonly used for wired connection to computer networks. This connection may be preferable to wireless in some situations, but some devices (such as ultra-thin laptops) may not have a native LAN port. And in a PC, where such a port is usually installed on the back of the case, it can be much more difficult to get to it than to the USB connector. For such cases, card readers / hubs with a built-in LAN adapter are designed — usually, these are external devices connected via USB and capable of operating as an external network card.

Material

The main material used for the body of the device.

— Plastic. Plastic is light, cheap, quite practical, incl. has good strength properties. In addition, it allows you to create cases of complex shape and almost any color.

Metal. As a rule, aluminium-based alloys are used for metal cases. Such cases are much stronger than plastic ones, and also have a stylish appearance. On the other hand, in terms of impact protection, this material has no advantages over plastic, but it costs more, and it can weigh much more.
