My first question is to the design engineers . . . Why? Use the right connector.
I can't seem to find (that doesn't mean that one doesn't exist)regulations against this. However, I would be concerned about the ability of the RJ-11 to stay in the RJ-45 jack when there is strain on the cable. What about users plugging non-telecom 8-pin cables into that jack. I don't see the rational of using an RJ-45 instead of an RJ-11. -John Juahsz- Fiber Options Bohemia, NY -----Original Message----- From: David Gelfand [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RJ-11 plug into RJ-45 jack? Hello listmembers, Here is an interesting question put to me by our design engineers. They want to use RJ-45 jacks on all telephone interface types, including a standard telephone interface. Is there any problem from an approvals perspective using an RJ-11 plug in an RJ-45 jack? Our designers claim they fit, but it seems forced to me. Opinions? Regards, David.
