The "RJ" references come from the name «registered jack» which is a part of the Code of Federal Regulations in the United States for telephone networks, and which in fact means not connectors, but the o cial standard pinouts. The most common use of the RJ45 connector is Ethernet cabling using four pins (two pairs) or eight pins (four pairs). It is also used as desk phone connectors and for computer network applications such as ISDN and T1. But, more and more, it is a connection using the eight points of contact that is used to connect the four pairs needed to 1 gigabit per second networks and pre-wire the buildings for all "low current" applica- tions (low power and low voltage) that do not require a lot of separate drivers. Similarly, the 8P8C connector, said RJ45 allows several types of cables, twisted in pairs or not, with or without shielding. Plug In has, based on this connector interface, designed a rugged versatile ERVAC connector feed- through for Cat. 5e and Cat. 6A, that ensures reliable protection and the convenience of easily mating under the most di cult and harsh environments.
