Some clarifications on the RJ45 connector

For public enlightenment, I would like to give some clarification on the RJ45 type connector.

Many people mistakenly believe that Ethernet uses a connector of this type. But this is not true.



In fact, Ethernet uses an 8P8C type connector .

You can find out here and here .
It is also interesting to go here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RJ45 (pay attention to the title of the article).

UPD:
See also standard Registered Jack

UPD2:
Some more evidence (eng, thanks for the link Auren )

UPD3:
I think the most correct formulated k_s :

RJ45 just got used to designate all 8P8C cables and connectors, but it has nothing to do with them. In Wikipedia there is a table of symbols in commercial networks and there it is signed in brackets that, actually, these symbols are incorrect. RJ45 is 8P2C.
