Actually, these token ring connectors were introduced in 1984. Twisted pair ethernet was introduced in 1986. Though, coaxial BNC was more popular until the mid 90s.
Yeah, in my case the building had originally been fitted for token ring, and eventually was retrofitted for Ethernet, but instead of swapping out all the hard wired wall ports, they just issued that socket to ethernet adapters. The rooms ALSO had BNC ports, which weren’t live anymore.
