hardware A serial connector which looks very much like a
standard telephone connector, except it houses eight wires
instead of four. RJ-45s are not typically found on
computers or normal serial equipment, but because they are
so small they are often used on devices such as terminalservers that have many ports.
Ethernet (10baseT) and Token Ring sometimes use four
wires of an RJ-45 plug, 100baseVG uses all eight.
100BaseTX uses the same four wires of the RJ-45 connector as
10baseT but the wire must be category 5 instead of category3.
