My internet hole is loose from repeated insertions
How did you manage that with a mini aux connector?
Pussy8 data cables will do that.
I’m pretty sure around these parts we call it the

I was gonna say that I have to sometimes refer to it as "RJ45” port, because we actually also work with differently shaped Ethernet ports. Then I decided to look up, if that’s specifically the name of the plug or of the port as well.
And Wikipedia is immediately like, oh yeah, the scrubs refer to it as “RJ45”, when it was really named after the “RJ45S” standard. But that standard actually describes a specific, obsolete wiring configuration of what’s really an 8P8C connector.
Never change, Wikipedia. 🙃
I’ve always thought of it as Ethernet is the protocol, maybe even the cable (but Cat5/6 would be more accurate for this), while RJ45 is the plastic connector at the end of the cable. You could have a telephone use an RJ45 connector, but it wouldn’t be an ethernet port it’s being plugged into. Unless it’s an IP phone and it actually does used ethernet protocols and cables I guess.
But yeah if you’re using different connectors I guess you’d have to specify it’s an RJ45 ethernet port. But I’ve never seen an ethernet port use anything other than RJ45, so if someone is just saying “ethernet port” we can probably assume it’s RJ45.

I’m currently reading though ways to DIY an internet hole into my car hole. Now I see the folly of searching for articles using terms like rj45 keystone and garage.
And technically wrong
Oh hey it’s my nickname from college :3
