Understanding USOC and what those RJ codes really mean. The Universal Service Ordering Code (USOC) system was developed by the Bell System and introduced by AT&TO in the 1970s to connect customer premises equipment to the public network. These codes, adopted in part by the FCC, Part 68, Subpart F, Section 68.502, are a series of Registered Jack (RJ) wiring configurations for telephone jacks that remain in use today.
