Sandman Electronics carries what they call a 'universal' modular plug, 8P8C but the width of a 6P6C or 4P4C (RJ11). You can look at it at https://sandman.com/products/too5o-blue-universal-mod-plug and they're used for patch cords for banjos, like used with clip lead butt sets. This way you can have one 8 connection banjo with 8P8C jacks but use it with both the wide 8P and medium 6/4P jacks (of course NOT the narrow headset 4P jacks). Sandman carries a lot of specialty stuff.
