Two LEDs next to RJ45

Hello,

Indeed, there are sometimes two LEDs next to the RJ45 connection at the back of the PC. One orange and one green. The green one seems to indicate that the network is correctly reaching the PC. Sometimes, the green turns red. And the orange? What does it mean? It's all a bit unclear.

Does anyone have an explanation?

Thank you.

Hi,
it's variable depending on the cards, often there is only one LED.
A fixed LED indicates the connection status and speed, while the other blinks with the rhythm of the frames passing through the port.
Green often indicates maximum speed, yellow or red indicates a lower speed.
Modern cards are 10/100/1000 in speed, the CCM article is outdated.
