I've seen so many uses that were not adhering to the standard 4-pair.

But the most miserable use is as a mic connector which Motorola went to. Now I see many ham radio mfr's copying. Instead of molded multi-contact connector with set screw which holds contact tension its just wiggle wiggle that poor RJ45.

But I suppose all the old wise RF designers have retired leaving only the digital junkies "who said why not use a cheap RJ-45". Bean counters rejoiced!

Very happily retired not having to deal with such. I am moving more and more toward less use of connectors of any kind (Murphy loves 'em).
