Isnt brand recognition wonderful?
Im 40 now and learned telephony on an AT&T Dimension 2000 but shortly before we upgraded I had an MDM-100 which was a Stromberg Carlson XY switch system.
I know some of you are saying what the heck is that. Just forget it...You'll be bald like me before your time.
I have always been a stickler for correct designations as Ed is.
Just like Ed, I tend to use the "new" names just so others know what I am talking about as well as out of habit.
I do call them AMP tails, and DB-9.
In 1993 installing the Georgia Lottery no one could ever put the proper termination spec on paper for the job. Someone knew because it was spec'ed in the project.
I identified it as TP-PMD.
Nowadays, Proper designation of wiring is considered courteous instead of mandatory.
Think if we used the "Cane" on a few people for getting it wrong we could turn the industry around?
I thought it was an AMPHENOL TAIL?
what do I know...I just the village idiot.
Ed, Did that worthless loser ever pay you the money he owed you for them phone jacks? Let me know if he didnt and I will drive to his town and pound on his noggin for a few minutes giving him whatever message you want me to deliver.
No charge.

Actually he was quite a gentleman and took care of things promptly. A lot more professionally than many people are.
I agree about some of those terminologies and brands that just can't go away. We wouldn't know what to call them, except those "things". I guess male or female tail, when used in the proper context, is about the best thing to call one. Still can't drop Band-Aid or Chlorox though!
Now that caning idea might just be a possible solution. Hmmm. We should think about that the next time the IT "manager" tells us he wants an RJ45 installed. One quick whack across the back will set him straight for good. Good thinking!

I admit it! I'm one of those non-tecchies who have been using the "RJxx" terminology wrong all this time. I stumbled onto this forum via a Google search because I was looking for a cable with a 4p4c (I used to think it was called an "RJ9") at one end and a 2.5mm headset jack at the other.
...and I'm still trying to source the sucker! Can anyone suggest a vendor - preferably one in Canada as I'm up in the "Great White North".

Can I get a recap on RJ45-X AND RJ45-S. What are some of the readings that I can readily detect that can alert me as a technician, sitting at an office computer terminal, that should alert me that it is not the customer's problem or the lec's problem but AT&T's problem.
Thank you,
Elsevier Lippincott

More likely they couldn't figure out what you were telling them.
