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
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.
For example, RJ11 and RJ14 use female six-position modular connectors, and RJ21 uses a 25-pair (50-pin) miniature ribbon connector. RJ11 uses two conductors in a six-position female modular connector, so can be made with any female six-position modular connector, while RJ14 uses four, so can be made with either a 6P4C or a 6P6C connector.
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.
BIX connectors also have a pair-splitter to facilitate fast arranging of wires on the punch-down block. There are many types of BIX connectors, the most popular kinds being the 1A and the 1A4. 1A: Distribution connector, 5-pair markings [1] 1A4: Distribution connector, 4-pair markings [1] 2A: Bridging connector, 12 2-pair clips [1]
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 ]
