Q: What is the difference between RJ11 RJ12 and RJ45 connectors?
These are all crimp connectors with gold pins used for telecoms networking and occasionally low voltage lighting control applications. The difference is in the number of positions available on the connector and the number of contacts actually present.
RJ45: 8P8C = 8 Position 8 Contact - used in Network Wiring
RJ12: 6P6C = 6 Position 6 Conductor - used in Phone Systems
RJ11: 6P4C = 6 Position 4 or 2 Conductor - used for ADSL telephone and modem cables etc.
The RJ11 and RJ12 are the same size even though they have a different number of contacts. RJ45’s are larger because of the extra positions and conductors.
