Hello everyone!
I shared some basic knowledge about RJ45 with you yesterday, and I want to continue to learn with you today.
Learn more about cables and connectors by comparing RJ45 and RJ48 with CAT6.
RJ45 VS. RJ48
The RJ48 connector is not as popular as the RJ45 connector. But it has very similar features, and it's hard to tell them apart without looking closely. The RJ48 is also made of hard clear plastic that allows you to see the connection between the wires inside. Like the RJ48, it has an 8P8C setup that allows it to handle eight wires at once.
Most people can quickly distinguish between the variations and unique uses of each cable between RJ11 and RJ45. But when it comes to RJ45 and RJ48, it's a little hard.
The following table describes the differences between RJ45 and RJ48:
Parameters of Comparison | RJ45 | RJ48 |
Description | RJ45 is an Ethernet network adapter that uses four pairs of copper cables, which indicates RJ45. | RJ48 is a jack register used to terminate T1 and ISDN. |
Number of Pins | Pin 1, 2, 3, 6 are used to receive and transfer. | Used to receive and relay pins 1, 2, 4, 5 or 1, 2, 7, and 8. |
Cable | UTP cables | STP cables |
Jack | RJ45 is going to match an RJ48 jack. | RJ48 jack has an additional tab to prevent the RJ48 plug from pushing into an RJ45 jack |
Twisted pairs | Adjusts distorted pairs without shielding (UTP) | Supports twisted couple protected (STP) |
RJ45 VS. CAT6
Cat6, an acronym for Category 6, was implemented in 2018. It is a well-known twisted pair cable for Ethernet-based computer networks. The cable can carry networks at speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s and has a standard bandwidth of 250 megahertz. Due to its high frequency, Cat6 is the best twisted-pair cable for faster data transmission.
RJ45 is a connector, CAT6 is a cable, and both are used for Ethernet. The difference between the RJ45 and the Cat6 is the way the two cables are dedicated. In the abstract, the RJ45 has pin assignments for all twisted-pair cables in a network connection. Cat6 is also a twisted pair cable for Ethernet purposes. For better understanding, RJ45 is also a jumper for Cat6.
The following table describes the differences between RJ45 and CAT6:
Parameters of Comparison | RJ45 | CAT6 |
Meaning | Registered Jack-45 connector is a data networking interface that connects a device to a Local Area Network (LAN). RJ45 comes up with eight pins under two versions- T-568A and T-568B cables. | Category 6 Cable is a twisted cable for Ethernet and networking routes. CAT5 was replaced by CAT6 due to the frequent crosstalk system. |
Color Code | There are eight wires- white/Green, Green, White/Orange, Blue, Orange, White/Blue, White/Brown, and Brown. Only 4 wires take action in communication and data transmission. | There are six color codes in CAT6, which are Blue, Yellow, White, Grey, Black, and Red. All six pins have distinct properties for Ethernet networks. |
Applications | RJ45 is primarily used for ethernet networking connectivity with computers, data, WiFi access, and many other networking routes. | CAT6 is a twisted pair cable, which is commonly used for Ethernet and network applications. The end of the CAT 6 cable uses RJ45 connectors for smooth ethernet. |
Number of pins | RJ45 wired two versions- T-568A and T-568B cables. Each cable has eight different pins(8P8C), four are solid, and the other four are striped. | There are six pins, where Gray, Green, Yellow, and Blue connect the Ethernet and other routes. |
Date Rate | RJ45 experienced crosstalk from line to line. RJ45 provides 1Gbps per second. | 10 Gbps Ethernet Connections within the range of 30-35 meters and extends to 1Gbps per second within 100 meters. |
Well, from the above comparisons, I believe you have a better understanding of RJ45 and understand both RJ48 and CAT6. Thank you for your suggestions in the comments, and if there's anything else I'd like to learn, I'll share it with you again.
Thanks for reading!
Thank you. 
Thanks a lot. 
Thanks for your support. 
Thanks.
