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.
The first types of small modular telephone connectors were created by AT&T in the mid-1960s for the plug-in handset and line cords of the Trimline telephone. [1] Driven by demand for multiple sets in residences with various lengths of cords, the Bell System introduced customer-connectable part kits and telephones, sold through PhoneCenter stores in the early 1970s.

6-pin modular (6P4C or 6P2C), 8-pin modular or 3-position weatherproof connector in accord with TIA-1096-A. [Note 9] 4-prong connector [Note 10] Latvia: 6P2C, Polish national 5-pin [Note 1] Lithuania: 6P2C, Polish national 5-pin [Note 1] Liechtenstein: Reichle-connector, 4-pin Swiss telephone plugs [Note 1] Luxembourg
The Modified Modular Jack (MMJ) is a small form-factor serial port connector developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). It uses a modified version of the 6P6C modular connector with the latch displaced off-center so standard modular connectors found on Ethernet cables or phone jacks cannot accidentally be plugged in. MMJ connections are used on Digital minicomputers, such as the PDP-11 ...
The connectors used for registered jack installations are primarily the modular connector and the 50-pin miniature ribbon connector. For example, RJ11 and RJ14 use female six-position modular connectors, and RJ21 uses a 25-pair (50-pin) miniature ribbon connector.
1×6 pin header (one row) 1×6 female header (one row) A pin header (or simply, header) is a form of electrical connector. A male pin header consists of one or more rows of metal pins molded into a plastic base, often 2.54 mm (0.1 in) apart, though available in many spacings. [1] Male pin headers are cost-effective due to their simplicity.
The origin of the "Keystone" module may be traced back to US Patent 4261633 of Aug 27, 1979 for a "Wiring module for telephone jack" - by Amp Incorporated. [1] The module referred to in that patent was affixed by "A pair of diagonally inclined mounting flanges (which) include stepped, panel bearing surfaces .. at the outer free ends thereof."
Cat 6 cable can be identified by the printing on the side of the cable sheath. [3] Cable types, connector types and cabling topologies are defined by ANSI/TIA-568.. Cat 6 patch cables are normally terminated in 8P8C modular connectors, using either T568A or T568B pin assignments; performance is comparable provided both ends of a cable are terminated identically.
