I've made cables. There are two sizes of modular plugs, the telephone
size(RJ-11), and the ethernet size(RJ-45). The Telephone size can link up to
6 wires, but standard telephones use only 1 or 2 pairs, and cross over the
pairs which can make off-the-shelf cables tricky. I've taken to marking the
ends of my straight-through RJ11 cables to distiguish them from telephone
cables.
RJ45 is almost always straight-thru, thank goodness, and always have all 8
wires connected. Not all 1-wire devices have an RJ45 female port, many use
the smaller RJ11 size. I hope that we'll switch to all rj45 in the future,
the incremental cost is truly negligable, and buying off-the-shelf cables is
a big win!
Now if you are noting the the wires, themselves, don't fit in the crimp-on
rj11 connector, that's happened to me. There are different designs for those
connectors that give more or less room. Quite a nuisance.
