RJ45
A serial connector used with Ethernet and
Token Ring devices that looks like a telephone jack but has eight wires
instead of four or six.
Relevance: Last year in my classroom
I had only wiring for the RJ-11 connections. The Speech classroom
had the proper wiring supporting RJ-45 connections. My classroom
has been rewired with an Ethernet connection.
