fun fact: rj45 has one too, its tc43 and the only fucking thing that comes up when i look for tc48 even though i have a preview of the spec right here (not the actual one though. i dont have 250 swiss franks to pay for international standard documents)
nevermind i misinterpreted. tc48 is the technical commitee in charge of all electronic connectors (not including fiber optical ones which fall under tc84 and tc46. hybrid standards will be discussed in cooperation with the relevant commitees)
@coolbean I've never ever heard it referred to anything but RJ45, thought it was a standard name (like backed by a standard) that had evolved out of telco gear because i know the phone jacks and other related things are RJ11 etc
@autumn i do want the jacks and connectors themselves. i just want the itty bitty ethernet connectors they're funny. more ethernet per ethernet etc. etc.
@coolbean lmao that actually reminds me that my brother took an Ethernet cable out of a hole in the wall into another room and he re-terminated it with the most massive stupidest most robust connector ive Ever seen in my life. and its Impossible to remove out of anything.
@coolbean wish i could smirk and say "heh love to see you try" and watch you chisel at the fucking plaster that house walls were made of in my parents place but i dont live there anymore ...
