Need a cheap source of TEN pin RJ45 plugs and crimping tools.

... to recycle some earlier bar code scanners.
Yes, TEN pin, not eight. Apparently the usual 8 pins are RS232 and the new ones are power and ground for the sensing gun.

No. It is a non-standard , proprietary style.
RJ45 ONLY has ONE configuration. (ooops... see below)
If it does not match that then it is not RJ45.
The key is to search for "modular plugs".
10 pin modular plug pulls 134,000 hits.

You may find it easier to replace the entire cable length with one with the plug already fitted. The crimpers are not cheap, and terminating a new cable length would be decidedly cheaper, depending on how it is terminated in the device(s).
It seems the 10 pin variety IS called an RJ-45 "variant". Which is weird, since all the other modular plug" configurations get their own monikers. They are deemed as rare and specialized.

I've bought 10 pin cables at Excess Solutions in Milpitas Ca. The jacks as well.

Apparently a second name for this connector is a RJ-50. But "10 pin RJ45" seems to be the norm.

What I was saying is that a pre-made cable might be a cheaper solution.
One doesn't need a crimper, or the degree of precision needed. Just buy the pre-made, chop off one end, and terminate the other in place of the original.

RJ45 is not 10 pins. RJ stands for "registered jack", originally engineered by Bell Labs/Western Electric pursuant to an FCC order to publish standards for connectors to be used in telephone systems after ATT lost a federal court monopoly case. There are only certain types of RJs specified. Wandering beyond the known world of the published specifcations will find the monsters lurking there.
And I'll bet your RS232 isn't also.

most of barcode readers I've encounterd speak rs-232 and "keyboard" and use some pins for each purpose

Mope. There ARE 10 pin RJ-45 "modular plugs", which is the class of connector they are.
I thought the same thing, but it most certainly true. There is a connector designation that has more than one actual connector assigned to it.
I thought they were around prior to that (the monopoly kill).
FOR PHONES. There are OTHERS for other applications.

Yes, and when whomever did so, nobody noticed. I suspect it was added conductors for some new variant to the Ethernet spec that never came about.
You are just full of assumptions, 'eh?

Just buy a new one at Fry's or the like. Most new jobs are USB.

The problem is that I have a zillion old ones RS232 that I would like to cheaply sell if I can make them talk at all.
There still should be a market for $9 scanning barcode guns, even if they are serial.

I guess that this means that you are not a serial killer.

Google 10P10C. Also there are some crimp tools on eBay.
