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.
@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
@coolbean omg i used them during university, the blue ones, they're adorable yes. we were configuring cisco IOS with them and some windows software i can't remember the name of.
