Glossary > R > RJ Registered Jack
RJs are telephone and data jacks registered with the FCC. Numbers like RJ-11, RJ-45, etc. are widely misused in the telecommunications industry. A much more precise way to identify a jack is to specify the number of positions (width of opening) and number of conductors. Example: “8-position, 8-conductor jack” or “6-position, 4-conductor jack”.
