The Mencom MDE45-8FR-RJ45-BM-0.3M is a passive Ethernet receptacle, meaning you would need to have an existing Internet source to start with, whether that be through a modem, fiber cable, or T1 line. This receptacle is designed to carry data or signals from one place to another, so it would connect from your source of Internet to whatever device you would be sending the signal to.
