Although it may suprise some, and I may get flak, but an RJ45 connector is an specific configuration used exclusively for a programmable data connection. It has a specific wiring configuration. The "RJ" stands for Registered Jack. This is an FCC designation of that specific configuration.
There is nothing against using an 8-pin modular plug/jack for 10Base-Tor 100Base-T, or even microphone inputs to my Ham radio, but do not call it a RJ45. Now, yes, there are several vendors that produce shielded and filtered 8-pin modular jacks. I remember using them and working with several vendors a few years ago, but I would suggest you look at the website or catalogs of the major connector suppliers. John Shinn, P.E. Manager, Lab.

The RJ45 must be able to handle data rates from 10Base T to 100Base T I will be performing CE testing in the chamber so it must be bulkhead mountable ! Thanks and Happy Holidays to YOU ALL !
