My lad needs an extension lead for an aircon controller and I am

It's not an ordinary "ethernet" (RJ45?) or what I think of as the DSL
lead (RJ11?) although it looks very much like that. But the plug is only
7.5 mm wide, rather than 9.5 for the DSL. (That's the dimension spanning
the conductors).


RJ10?

Ah yes, looks plausible.

Why can't I find any dimensions for RJ9, RJ10, and RJ22 though? Also,
that link says they are 4 position 4 conductor. While that is what my
"phone" one is, the socket on the controller is definitely 6 position 4
conductor.

Obviously, I could give them a call. They do the plugs and female to
female connectors.
