Basic Information
RJ Designation
Modular jacks are commonly misrepresented by the Registered Jack (RJ) designations shown below. TE modular jacks should be selected by position size and number of contacts loaded.

Performace Category
Category Cat 3 Cat 5

10/100 BASE-T 10/100/1000 BASE-T or
Gigabit Ethernet 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Product Features
Shielded
A metal shell that provides EMI/RFI* protection. EMI/RFI is unwanted electromagnetic energy (or “noise”) in the frequency range that is generally used in radio communication.
Keyed
Designed for the use with a keyed plug to ensure proper mating and will also accept a standard plug
Panel Stops
Provides additional mechanical support, especially with top entry jacks.
Grounding Options
Panel Ground — Makes contact with the panel for ground connections
PCB Ground — Makes contact with the PCB for ground connections
Mounting pegs
Provide location and retention support during soldering processes, but do not function as boardlocks. The majority of modular jacks have some type of mounting peg.
Inverted
Contacts are on the bottom and the latch is on the top to allow for alternate location of latch.
Inverted Latch Tab Up
Standard Latch Tab Down
LEDs
Integrated into the modular jack, eliminating the need for additional system space for indicators. Available in multiple colors and configurations.
*Terminology Key EMI — Electro Magnetic Interference RFI — Radio Frequency Interference

45 Degree Angle Jacks
The newest addition to TE’s single port modular jack portfolio is the angled RJ45 connector for Cat6 applications which provides increased data rates, reduced signal interference and easier connections with a 45 degree angle design.
Features
· Cat6 performance rating
· >1Gbps transmission independent of Integrated Circuit Module (ICM)
· Shielded
· Grounding and panel features
Achieve Faster Data Rates · Exceeds data rates of 1Gbps, meeting the requirements for Cat6 applications · Expands the possibilities for broader bandwidth Ethernet connections
Reduce Signal Interference · Features up to 4x the number of EMI springs in the shield design than other RJ45 connectors on the market · Improves EMI shieldng effectiveness and helps prevent external interference to the transmission signal as well as reduce interference to external devices
Increase Ease of Assembly
· 45 degree angle entry jack design allows for easy, efficient cable connections
· Provides a connector surface that is more visible and accessible than right angle or vertical jacks in small or hardto-reach spaces
Decrease PCB Assembly Costs
· Supports cost-effective IR reflow soldering processes with hightemperature, LCP (liquid crystal polymer material
· Increases assembly efficiency with a single soldering process for through hole and SMT connections
