    I've always known it to be the RJ45 port.

    Strictly speaking, RJ-45 refers to the jack; however there would seem to be no name for an RJ-45 socket other than "RJ-45 socket". Which makes sense; it is a socket for a jack of that designation.

    (So i guess techniquly port would be the female of the rj-45....)

    Yeah, RJ-45 is just the name of the type of connector on the end of the cable.
