Talk:GG45

Extra conductors
I don't understand where the 4 extra conductors are coming from. Are they using the extra shielding from the 4 pair as conductors?

Also what does GG stand for (e.g. RJ=Registered Jack)?


 * I expanded the article a little and your question should be answered by now. 15:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * There is still no information on how the connector "knows" if it should be presenting the pairs in "compatibility" mode (on the 8 normal pins) or on the new 4 pins...... Plugwash 20:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

There's an image uploaded to wikimedia that shows the GG45 connector. Should we include?

So now that the standard is released for 10GBASE-T, is this adapter still going to be used? --UNHchabo 07:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

This article doesn't make much sense, as it refers to GG45 and ARJ45 as the same thing ... which it isn't. It's hard to explain GG45 without ARJ45, however, as it's just the semi-backwards compatible variant of the ARJ45 plug. But it probably doesn't deserve it's own article either, as it's a very obscure technology that never took off.

But I'm not sure where to put it. In order of what I think makes the most sense:


 * 1) Move it to a subsection of IEC 11801, which is where the link for Category 7 cable is redirected.  It was pretty much only designed for Cat 7 and Cat 8.2 (neither of which were widely adopted).
 * 2) Move it to a subsection of Modular Connector, which is where 8P8C (AKA RJ45) redirects to.  But I'm not sure if this counts as a modular connector or not.
 * 3) Make a new article encompassing TERA, AJ45, and GG45 as I believe all three are exclusive to Cat 7/8.
