I'd like to wire some RS-232 circuits from desks back to a wiring closet using modular hardware at the desk end. We will be terminating a six wire connection on an RJ45 (8 pin modular jack) under each desk, and then use a modular cord (with appropriate ends) to connect the jack to a DB25 or DB9 shell, thence into the back of a PC. Is there any standard for the appearance of the standard RS-232 signals on the RJ45, or should I just invent something that works. Note: Why 8 pin jacks with six wire circuits? We can't seem to get some of the parts with RJ11 jacks. Thanks, Ed Greenberg edg@cso.3mail.3com.com
