Who manufactures RJ-45

[RobertP]

Hello everybody,

Maybe someone knows who manufactures multiport RJ45 _10-contact_ modular
jacks (not the plugs)?
Here is a sample board that uses something like that.

I found that ERNI makes single-port ones. And this is the only company I
found so far. This is a little strange, since there is a lot of cables
and adaptors on the net with RJ-45 10-contact plugs (maybe it is
difficult to find something relevent in google because of that), so
someone must manufacture it!

did you actually see this board?
RJ45 is a 8 pin spec. did not know it was changed to 10-pin option.
I have used 4jack RJ45 assemblys, but always with 8 pins each.

Being that most network cabling uses only 8 conductors, it's a wonder
that _anyone_ makes jacks with 10 pins.


Try comp.dcom.cabling for some other informed opinions.

They are used on multi-port serial cards, which tend to need more than
8 lines, but they are hard to come by.

The 10P10C connector is known as RJ50

It is apparently made by Virginia Plastics http://www.vaplastics.com/

We had two Bull minicomputers that sat side-beside. The two of them had
200 serial ports. Each port was a micro-D 9-pin, and there were 24
ports to a card. Talk about a mess of cables! And talk about an
expensive and difficult time finding cables or adapters for them. The
micro D 9-pin looks just like the 9-pin "DB" connector, AKA mouse port
on a PC, but it's much smaller. Using the RJ modular plugs and jacks is
probably a lot cheaper, since they're cheap plastic and easy to crimp
on.

The one thing that gets everyone POed at these is that the clicker tab
snags on other cables when you're dealing with them in a mess of cables.
The ones with the protectors help, but then it's a bitch to get them out
of the socket when they're in a tight space.
