We geeks should know RJs are (or were) Bell-spec telecom connections. Real RJ45 plugs don't even fit in the typical modular Ethernet jack. Those are mod8 or mod 8P connectors.

Cat5e is the most common these days. Careful what you ask for.

I like "electric string", too. I've sometimes called it "that cord with the jumbo telephone plugs."
