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,
Convention????
So is your RJ45 wired to T568A or T568B??
In Australia, one should have a data licence to wire RJ45
plugs/sockets. They will be wired according to International and
Australian Standards, which reference the TIA/EIA standard.
RJ45 hardware must be Austel approved, as is all hardware that is
connected (wired or wireless) to the telephone system.
I'm sure we could find the relevant legislation if you like!
