    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. 🙃
