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 also somewhat more water resistant so they can survive even more network gore

@autumn you dont even know that firewire actually just repurposed the mini displayport connector cause apple already had the rights to those

@autumn its so annoying i NEED the debranded chinesium copy oh my god i hate harting's branding so much but they made serial crossover cables use a mirrored connector (because of course they would maintain support for the rj45 console port! i love cisco!) so you cant mix up the ports/cables. id still colorcode them though cause that light blue for crossover serial cables is just so cute
