What registered jack is used to terminate the standard network patch cable?

The standard network patch cable is typically terminated using an 8P8C connector, commonly referred to as an RJ45 connector. This connector has eight positions and contacts, which accommodate the eight wires in a Category 5 (Cat5), Category 5e (Cat5e), or Category 6 (Cat6) cable. The wiring can follow either the T568A or T568B standard, which dictate the arrangement of the color-coded wires within the connector.
