Keyed connectors are designed to be inserted only in one direction. Keying is used as a safety feature to prevent wrong orientation/plug in which may lead to damaging the connector/circuit board
Usually T1's are terminated on an RJ48 jack. If the T1 line is provided by a telecom company, a T1 Network Interface Unit (NIU) is often installed with an RJ48 jack. A T1 NIU may also be referred to as a 'smart jack,' a device which allows remote, and on-site, loop up and testing capability, as well as indicator lights for basic fault isolation. An RJ48 jack accepts an 8-position, 8-contact (8P8C) modular connector. It's important to note that RJ48 jacks and connectors are often confused with RJ45 (Ethernet) jacks and connectors, because they may look identical, but RJ48 uses a different wiring standard and a different pinout - uses pins 1, 2, 4 & 5. However, some RJ48 jacks and connectors have a keyed notch on one side.

Keyed connectors are connectors that have something on them or are shaped so they can be connected only one way. That is, so they cannot be connected incorrectly.
Almost all connectors are designed as such. PATA and SATA cables are usually keyed so that they can only be connected in one direction. SCSI connectors are shaped in a way that makes it impossible to establish a complete connection in the wrong direction.
so they fit correctly into an 8bit or 16bit slot

Yes, MC4 connectors are waterproof and designed for outdoor use in various weather conditions.
RF connectors are designed to maintain the shielding that the coaxial design offers and are typically used with coaxial cables.
Memory modules will have a small notch in the bottom edge that ensures it can only be inserted into a slot one way.

Forcing a connection when attaching cables can result in damage to the connectors or the devices they are connecting. By aligning the connectors properly and allowing them to be inserted smoothly, you reduce the risk of bending or breaking the pins inside the connectors. Taking the time to make sure the connectors are properly aligned before making the connection is key to preventing damage.
