  • The Raspberry Pi doesn't use a modular receptacle, it uses a so-called magjack that integrates the receptacle, magnetics and some resistors. The magjack has only 7 usable pins: 6 for the secondaries of the isolation transformers, and one for the shield. The other pins are unused. There is no access to pins 4,5 and 7,8 on the connector - not without opening the magjack up and performing some surgery on it. Whatever extractor you wish to use must be external to RPI, unless you unmount the magjack and replace it with a custom circuit. Commented Dec 19, 2014 at 3:31
