An 8P8C modular plug not yet crimped onto a cable An 8P8C female modular connector with a key cut (the connector used in the obsolete RJ45S specification) The 8 position 8 contact (8P8C) connector is a modular connector commonly used to terminate twisted pair and multi-conductor flat cable.
Perhaps the most comprehensive known and most discussed feature of ANSI/TIA-568 is the definition of the pin-to-pair assignments, or pinout, between the pins in a connector (a plug or a socket) and the wires in a cable. Pinouts are critical because cables do not function if the pinouts at their two ends aren't correctly matched.
Structured cabling design and installation is governed by a set of standards that specify wiring data centers, offices, and apartment buildings for data or voice communications using various kinds of cable, most commonly Category 5e (Cat 5e), Category 6 (Cat 6), and fiber-optic cabling and modular connectors.
6-pin modular (6P4C or 6P2C), 8-pin modular or 3-position weatherproof connector in accord with TIA-1096-A.

Because the only difference between the T568A and T568B pin and pair assignments are that pairs 2 and 3 are swapped, a crossover cable may be envisioned as a cable with one modular connector following T568A and the other T568B (see TIA/EIA-568 wiring). Such a cable will work for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.
Ethernet cable with an M12 X-coded connector in one end and a modular connector in the other. IEC metric screw sized connectors is a family of electrical connectors defined by IEC that are named according to their ISO metric screw thread , namely M5 , M8 and M12 . [ 1 ]
Pin 1 is typically indicated on the body of the connector by a red or raised "V" mark. The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so on.
For 10BASE5, connection to the coaxial cable was made with either a vampire tap or a pair of N connectors. For 10BASE2, the connection to the coaxial cable was typically made with a single BNC connector to which a T-piece was attached. For twisted-pair cabling 8P8C, modular connectors are used (often called RJ45 in this context).
