Strictly, Registered Jack refers to both the female physical connector (modular connector) and specific wiring patterns, but the term is often used loosely to refer to modular connectors regardless of wiring, gender, or use, commonly for telephone line connections, but also for Ethernet over twisted pair, resulting in confusion over the various ...
Only lines 1 and 2 have electrical compatibility, with T568A wiring, and only line 1 with T568B wiring, because Ethernet-compatible pin assignments split the third pair of RJ25 across two separate cable pairs, rendering that pair unusable by an analog phone. (With T568B wiring, a telephone may connect to line 3 as line 2.) Both the third and ...
A crossover cable may also be used to connect two hubs or two switches on their upstream ports. 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 ...
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 cables could get tangled or mixed up, and it would be hard to know, when faced with 20 connectors at the end of the cable run, which cable was associated with which microphone or instrument. The patch panel is numbered, so that the engineer can note which microphone or instrument is plugged into each numbered connection.
For example, telephone cables in the UK typically have a BS 6312 (UK standard) plug at the wall end and a 6P4C or 6P2C modular connector at the telephone end: this latter may be wired as per the RJ11 standard (with pins 3 and 4), or it may be wired with pins 2 and 5, as a straight-through cable from the BT plug (which uses pins 2 and 5 for the ...
M12 A-coded 5-pin connector: For each connector size, the A-coding is the inspecific pinout variant and the only variant defined in varying numbers of pins. Ethernet cable with an M12 X-coded connector in one end and a modular connector in the other.
Most Ethernet cables are wired straight-through (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, and so on). In some instances, the crossover form (receive to transmit and transmit to receive) may still be required. A cable for Ethernet may be wired to either the T568A or T568B termination standard at both ends of the cable. Since these standards differ only ...
