Not quite so fast lad.
RJ45 sockets are wired according to convention, but it has no legislative 
background. And you can take your cable and plug it into any RJ45 socket in 
the world and expect it to work - unlike those 3 pin appliance plugs. I've of 
course got computer gear that doesn't use them - an UPS can come configured 
with an Aussie or a IEEE socket,
