>Can someone tell me what RJ-48 is.

I am holding in my hand a modular cable marked RJ48. It has the following
pinout on an RJ45 connector:

	       Station
     Pin no.	Wire	
----------------------------------------
	1	T2 
	2	R2 
	3	open
	4	open
	5	open
	6	open
	7	T1
	8	R1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you renumber the two pairs to be 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 2, this is the
same pinout as pairs 2 and 4 of a 258A connector.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are my notes, assembled from various sources over the years, on modular
connector pinouts.

		Modular Connector and station wiring.

4-pin RJ11 jacks are wired so that the center two conductors are pair 1 and
the outer two conductors are pair 2. There are two kinds of cables: those
that reverse the pairs and those that don't. 

Hold a modular socket so that the pins are vertical and you are looking down
the hole along the axis into which a jack would be inserted. Make sure the
straight edge is at the left and the slot for the locking pin is at the right.
The pins, which should run evenly down the left edge of the hole you are
staring into, are numbered 1-4, 1-6, or 1-8 from bottom to top.

Standard 4-pin RJ11 voice connectors have the following pinout (wire 1 at the
bottom when looking down into the jack)

	       Station
     Pin no.	Wire	
----------------------------------------
	1	Black		T2
	2	Red		R1
	3	Green		T1
	4	Yellow		R2

Standard 8-pin USOC RJ45 commercial voice wiring connectors have the following
pinout (remember wire 1 is at the bottom)

	       Station
     Pin no.	Wire	
----------------------------------------
	1	Blue		R4
	2	Orange		T3
	3	Black		T2
	4	Red		R1
	5	Green		T1
	6	Yellow		R2
	7	Brown		R3
	8	White		T4

8-pin "258A" Data wiring connectors (used for commercial installations
that have DDS or ISDN) is the AT&T Premises Distribution System
pinout standard. It is also usable for 10BaseT according to IEE 802.3.
