Hi all. I need an Ethernet cable that goes from one of these ends to the other. What would I call it so that I can search for it and buy it on the internet?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks all - turns out I was being really dense. Thanks to the commenters who helped me sort out my thickness!
Yeah, but I still prefer “stupid shitty 6-pin abomination” name for clarity.
Not sure why it’s shitty - easy to assemble, cheap, effective at eliminating contact noise with a high-compliance wiping contact.
the only shitty part is the exposed retaining clip which gets broken off
I doubt you really lived the analog phone era /s
My house growing up had a bunch of those (female) ports around and we had the adapters to convert them to RJ11.
I lived in the era when they taught us to count instead :)
Count von Count send his greetings. Said he remembers you and me very well!
