The straight orientation and unshielded body suit it for indoor structured cabling and equipment patch panels where the cable entry is perpendicular to the panel face. ## Cat5e Rating and Compatibility Rated Cat5e, this jack supports 100 MHz signaling and meets the crosstalk and return-loss requirements for 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) over four-pair twisted-pair cabling. It is not rated for Cat6 (250 MHz) or higher categories — the unshielded construction and IDC termination are optimised for the Cat5e channel budget. For new designs, select a current-production Cat5e or Cat6 RJ45 jack from the same or equivalent series. ## Installation and Termination The toolless panel lock allows the jack to be snapped into a panel cutout without screws or clips — the user-selectable tab direction accommodates different cable exit orientations. IDC termination accepts solid or stranded twisted-pair conductors; no soldering or special tooling is required beyond an IDC punch-down tool. The jack does not contain an LED indicator.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 1116604-3 SL Series RJ45 Jack, Cat5e","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 1116604-3 SL series 8p8c RJ45 jack, Cat5e rated, panel mount with toolless lock.
