RJ-45

Specialty Definition: RJ-45

Domain	Definition
Computing	RJ-45 A serial connector which looks very much like a standard telephone connector, except it houses eight wires instead of four. RJ-45s are not typically found on computers or normal serial equipment, but because they are so small they are often used on devices such as terminal servers that have many ports. Ethernet (10baseT) and Token Ring sometimes use four wires of an RJ-45 plug, 100baseVG uses all eight. 100BaseTX uses the same four wires of the RJ-45 connector as 10baseT but the wire must be category 5 instead of category 3.

Specialty Definition: RJ45

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

RJ45 is a physical interface often used for terminating twisted pair type cables. 'RJ' stands for Registered Jack which is part of the US 'Code of Federal Regulations'. It has eight 'pins' or electrical connections.
It is usually used with standards like TIA-568B which define the wiring pinout.
A very common application is its use in Ethernet patch cables where usually 4 pins (2 pairs) are used. Other applications included termination of business telephones and other networking services such as ISDN and T1ss.
