The GG45 (where GG probably stands for Giga Gate, and 45 is to remind the backward compatibility with RJ45 connector) is a connector for high-speed CAT7 LAN cabling developed by Nexans.

The cabling system was standardized in 2001 as IEC 60603-7-7, and then selected as the worldwide CAT7 cabling standard within ISO11801. It is a 2 in 1 solution providing backwards compatibility for standard RJ45 connectors in a CAT6 interface (Mode 1), where eight conductors are used for CAT6 (100/250 MHz) operation. In addition, GG45 has four additional connectors, in the extreme corners, to interface with new high-speed CAT7, 600MHz networks (Mode 2) that will run 10-gigabit Ethernet over copper LAN systems. In Mode 2 the 4 additional connectors will be used for 2 pairs, the other 2 pairs will be connected to the most distant pins of the original RJ45 connector - that is pins 1,2 and 7,8.
