RJ-45 Breakout Box?

I've seen serial breakouts, with DB-9 connectors. Does anybody make a
breakout box with modular connectors? I'm about to make my own, but
it'd be nice to know.

Thanks.

Not a 'breakout' box as such, but quite a few people do DB9 plug housings

with a RJ45 socket, and the pins left loose, so you just plug the wires
into the required pins on the DB9, and screw the cover on. In the UK, from
RS electronics, they are part number 382-2689, and you can look at these
on their web page.

Best Wishes

I'm working on a telephony application, and I want to dink with tip and
ring. I want a break out box that's just like serial break out boxes,
only it uses modular connectors -- AKA "telephone" connectors, AKA RJ-45.

Thanks again.

You didn't say how many pins the modular connector might have. If you
know someone who does a lot of Cisco equipment, they may have a 9-pin to
modular RJ-45 adapters laying around. Whether or not it has the pinout
you want is another matter, because there's no real standard for the
pinout.

By the time you're done with the thread, you could have build one already. :)

Just a couple of PCB-mount connectors, and a piece of stripboard, maybe a
couple rows of pin headers or turret terminal TPs. Or even a DIP socket. ;-)

Have Fun!

Or even some clip leads and some sockets from Rat Shack (which is what I

did).
