This jack carries a Cat5 rating, which means it is qualified for 100 MHz baseband signaling — the standard for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet and, in many installations, 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet over short cable runs. Cat5 is not Cat5e or Cat6; the tighter crosstalk margins of Cat5e and the 250 MHz ceiling of Cat6 are not guaranteed here. For a control-network drop or a legacy 10/100 link, this is a clean fit. For a new 1 Gb/s structured-cabling run where the cable plant is Cat5e or better, the connector itself is unlikely to be the bottleneck in a short patch, but the system designer should verify the full channel margin if the run is long or the noise floor is high. ## Shielded Shell and Grounding The shielded construction is the feature that separates this jack from a commodity unshielded RJ45. For applications in electrically noisy industrial cabinets or near motor drives, the shielded shell is worth the extra attention during assembly inspection. ## Operating Range and Environmental Fit The thermoplastic housing handles the thermal cycling without cracking, and the gold-over-phosphor-bronze contacts resist corrosion through condensation cycles. The tray packaging (50 pieces typical) suits low-to-medium volume production runs or prototype builds where reel-fed pick-and-place is not required.","metaTitle":"TE 2-406541-2 RJ45 Jack, 8P8C, Shielded, Cat5","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2-406541-2 modular jack, 8P8C RJ45, shielded, Cat5 rated, right-angle through-hole, gold contacts, -40°C to 85°C.
