Standards??? The only standards are the signals on the wires. Nothing says the wires need to be twisted, but that's how cables come so everyone does it.
I wasn't able to find out when Dallas released their first interface unit, but it is likely before the home ethernet explosion. They didn't need that many wires and 2 pair cat 1 cable using rj6 was common, so it was a reasonable decision. Now you can go anywhere and get premade rj45 cables and cat5 cable is widely available, so the change makes sense as well. jerry Gregg Levine wrote: > Hello! > If the current standard suggests, (perhaps demands?) the use of RJ45 > type connectors for the One Wire networking layouts, then why did > Dallas use RJ11/12 type connectors for their devices?
