I looked into my Official Inside Telephone Wiring Standards, and =
an RJ45C is a standard 8 position minature modular jack. The =
standard states that this is for a 1.544 Mbps access line.=20

If you are getting 2 PRI's you are going to get 2 RJ45C's or an =
RJ45M which is a standard 50 position minature ribbon jack =
allowing you to terminate up to 8 1.544 Mbps access lines.

One other note, if you are getting 2 PRI's, you are going to have =
2 HDSL units. These units will either be in individual mountings =
or a multi-mount, depending on what you already have at you =
location (number of T-1's, possible expansion, etc).

Don't sweat it, wait till the tech gets there.
