Hello All,
Long time lurker, figure I should start posting again seeing as how I am trying to accomplish something unique.

I am attempting to develop a fixture for preforming programming and testing of a microcomputer. There are several ports on the computer that are positioned to allow for a testing jig to be built. I
This is similar to what I am working with, we have a version modified by the manufacturer with slightly different hardware, but you get the point.

I have already tackled power and db9 connections. The DUT slides on two rails, so that it is pressed downwards onto the connectors. I now need to come up with a way to connect to the rj45 jack.

Does anybody know of a panel mount MALE rj45 connector? Failing that I do have access to a mill, so I may be able to make something to hold a standard RJ45 cable end in place, but I would like to come up with something a bit less mickey mouse. Unfortunately spring pins are not an option due to some of the custom hardware on the board.

I appreciate any ideas that you may be able to share with me!
