Modularstik 8P8C

Ikke at forveksle med RJ45.

Modularstik 8P8C (fra engelsk Modular connector 8 Position 8 Contact, Modular connector 8P8C eller kort 8P8C, også udbredt forkert benævnt RJ-45, fordi dele af teleindustrien gav 8P8C det uformelle navn RJ45s.^[2]) – er betegnelsen for den 8-benede stiktype, der oftest benyttes til UTP-kabler, der kendes fra Ethernet som er den mest udbredte netværkstype i hjem og kontorbygninger.

Finding the True Ethernet Standard Citat: "...As a result of the close similarities, “RJ45” became the designated informal misnomer for any eight-pinned jack (8P8C modular connector) used in computer networking (Ethernet). The differences between 8P8C connectors and RJ45 connectors are shown in the following diagram:...The connectors are not entirely compatible with one another because of the keying used in RJ45; 8P8C connectors can plug into RJ45 receptacles, but the inverse is not true. However, because the connectors resemble each other so closely in appearance, the groups and individuals who transitioned from telephone networking to computer networking started to mistakenly call the unkeyed 8P8C connectors “RJ45s” and the terminology quickly caught on. Therefore, what most of the industry refers to as RJ45 connectors are in fact 8P8C modular connectors. Today, almost all electronic equipment using 8P8C connectors will show documentation for RJ45 connectors, which is technically incorrect...", backup
