8P8C Connector

8P8C is an informal designation for the 8-pole (8-position), 8-contact modular connector.

There is a mechanically-keyed version of the connector, which prevents keyed 8P8C plugs from being inserted into un-keyed jacks.

Some common applications of the un-keyed 8P8C connector are:

• Ethernet cable termination (TIA-568A and TIA-568B)
• ISDN (RJ49C)

RJ45S and RJ48S utilise the keyed version of the 8P8C connector.
