    • The Weakest Link: Exposing the Dangers of Non-Compliant 8P8C (RJ45) Connectivity
      Feature
      Members
      David Jeskey, Betsy Conroy*The 8-position, 8-contact (8P8C) modular connector, more commonly known as the RJ45, is a highly engineered interconnection system of jacks and plugs with eight equally spaced contacts. Though its history began in the 1960s for telephony, it achieved widespread adoption with the rise of Ethernet networking over twisted-pair cabling.*      15 min
