It carries 8p8c (8 position, 8 contact) layout standard to Ethernet, with a Cat3 rating that defines its performance ceiling for 10BASE-T and voice applications. The shielded shell with an integrated EMI finger provides conducted noise rejection at the board edge — useful in industrial or telecom equipment where the jack sits near a panel cutout. This jack mates with any standard 8p8c (RJ45) plug — no proprietary keying. The tab direction is up, which matters for panel-mount alignment: the plug latch faces the same side as the board-lock posts.","metaTitle":"Molex 43860 0438600013 RJ45 Jack, Shielded, Cat3","metaDescription":"Molex 0438600013 RJ45 jack, 8p8c, Cat3 rated, shielded with EMI finger, gold 50.0µin contacts, board lock, -40°C to 85°C.
