I have put together a little RS232 booster which uses RJ45 connectors
(line powered), around 70 are required, so I am looking for a little
box with RJ45 cutouts at each end. Around 50mm by 30mm. I don't mind

I have seen RJ11 gender changers (female-to-female) that are roughly
your dimensions. The end aperture is large enough to hold an RJ45.


They also make these for RJ45 stuff. I have a couple I picke up at
BestBuy on closeout. I used to use RJ45 for serial stuff back when it
was more common. I defined a pinout in this form factor that would
allow direct connection of all devices to RJ45 cable without concern
about DCE/DTE due to the swapping in the cable (required that you
install the connecters with a pin1 to pin 8 swap). Then you can just
forget about geneder benders, etc.

I think the RJ45 to RJ45 I had was from Belkin. They can't be too
expensive. I was able to take one apart by separating it at the glue
line. BTW, it did swap pins, so I was able to use it to extend
cables.
