Scoped support: Exact named right-angle board-jack rows only; no plug-role geometry transfer.

Trace 11 claims to their source records
C018A · P018
The common RJ45-style modular connector family has eight positions and eight contacts.
Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only
Source links: S020 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C018B · P018
A manufacturer’s RJ45 console cable is a concrete example of this shape being used for serial console, not Ethernet.
Claim scope: Narrowly stated supporting distinction; not an end-to-end device guarantee
Source links: S021 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C018C · P018
T568A and T568B use the same eight-position modular termination but swap the green and orange pairs: T568A places green on pins 1–2 and orange on 3 and 6; T568B places orange on 1–2 and green on 3 and 6.
Claim scope: T568A/B pair-to-pin termination convention viewed from the front of the jack; not Ethernet-service, cable-category, link-rate or PoE proof
Source links: S191 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C018D · P018
For Phoenix Contact cable 1561797, the manufacturer lists IP65/IP67 under the M12 end and IP20 under the RJ45 end. The M12 end rating does not establish the same protection for the RJ45 end or a complete installation.
Claim scope: V121 named-product or explicitly scoped manufacturer distinction only; no wiring instruction, independent engineering approval or end-to-end compatibility guarantee.
Source links: S500 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C018E · P018
CommScope identifies 6-569278-3 / MP-5EU-1 as an unshielded 8P8C modular plug kit. Its linked drawing 2843004 lists that exact material number on the unshielded sheet, separately from shielded variants.
Claim scope: Named plug kit, not a completed lead, installed-port function, cable-category test or PoE verdict. No equivalence to similarly numbered TE parts is asserted.

C018W · P018
Molex identifies 95501-2881 as a right-angle 8P8C modular jack. Its chart separates 1.02 mm mating-interface pitch from 1.27 mm termination-interface pitch.
Claim scope: Exact Molex 95501-2881 right-angle 8P8C board jack; manufacturer mating-interface pitch only, separate from plug geometry or all modular parts.

C255A · P255
Neutrik describes etherCON as a ruggedized and lockable RJ45 connector system optimized for professional audio, video and lighting network applications.
Claim scope: V43 catalogue-expansion identification fact only; not independent technical approval, fabrication data, wiring instruction, protocol guarantee or end-to-end compatibility proof.
Source links: S275 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C255B · P255
Neutrik specifies the NE8FDY-C6 CAT6 etherCON D-shape panel connector with push-pull locking and warns that its mating set is variant-specific rather than interchangeable with older etherCON carriers.
Claim scope: V48 exact-product mating-boundary example for the etherCON family; not a universal statement that all etherCON generations or RJ45 carriers intermate.
Source links: S321 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C255C · P255
Neutrik’s NE8MX is an RJ45 cable-connector carrier supplied without an RJ45 plug. Neutrik explicitly excludes mating it with NE8FDY-C6 and NE8FDY-C6-B CAT6 chassis connectors.
Claim scope: Named carrier and named exclusions only. A generic RJ45 plug, a carrier and an assembled cable are different objects; no alternative part is approved here.
Source links: S614 · S615 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C255D · P255
Neutrik states IP65 protection for its NE8FDY-C6 panel connector in the mated condition. That condition does not establish protection for an open connector or every etherCON variant.
Claim scope: Manufacturer-stated named-product protection condition only; not ingress testing, an installation approval or proof of a compatible counterpart.

C318A · P318
CommScope's twisted-pair patch-cord portfolio includes RJ45 plug-ended assemblies across multiple category and construction classes, so matching 8P8C-style ends do not establish one universal category, shielding type or link capability.
Claim scope: Structured-cabling patch-cord family context only.
