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.
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.
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.
