This is a field-terminable plug — no crimp tool needed, just punch the conductors into the IDC slots — but the Cat5e rating means it is certified for 100 MHz bandwidth, not Cat6 or higher. ## Obsolete — Sourced Through Surplus Channels There is no direct replacement order code from the manufacturer. ## Cat5e Bandwidth and Compatibility The Cat5e rating certifies this plug for 100 MHz operation — sufficient for 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) over four twisted pairs. It is not rated for Cat6 (250 MHz) or Cat6a (500 MHz) frequencies. The 8p8c form factor is mechanically identical to standard RJ45 jacks, so it mates with any Cat5e or Cat6 jack, but the channel performance will be limited by the plug's own Cat5e ceiling. For a Cat6 link, the plug becomes the bottleneck.","metaTitle":"TE 2-2120864-1 RJ45 Plug, Cat5e, IDC, 8p8c","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2-2120864-1 RJ45 plug, Cat5e rated, IDC termination, 8p8c, unshielded, black PBT housing, 3.047\" length.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Modular / RJ Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Black","Length":"3.047\\\" (77.40mm)","Series":"-","Package":"Tray","Ratings":"Cat5e","Features":"-","Shielding":"Unshielded","Cable Type":"Round Cable, Stranded Wires","Wire Gauge":"-","Termination":"IDC","Connector Type":"Plug","Contact Finish":"-","Product Status":"Obsolete","Voltage Rating":"-","Shield Material":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Nickel","Housing Material":"Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"2120864","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Number of Positions/Contacts":"8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$42.1700","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/303fce81c392049beb0a03db260fa09d.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the TE 2-2120864-1 available via RFQ confirmation?","answer":"The 2-2120864-1 is obsolete, so it is not stocked in standard distribution."},{"question":"What is the replacement for 2-2120864-1?","answer":"TE Connectivity does not list a direct replacement order code for the 2-2120864-1.
