Re: What is CAN?...

CAN cables are RJ-11, Serial-CAN cables are RJ-12 (RJ-14 works also for regular CAN. The standard phone wiring isn't used though - 2 CAN wires: CAN H and CAN L, make up the regular CAN cable. A Serial version includes the CAN wires, plus 3 serial lines (RX, TX, and GND)

So in a way, yes it is phone wires and connectors, but the wiring is slightly different
