It sits in the 2301996 base series, sharing the same 0.531\" (13.49 mm) board height, brass shield, and LCP housing as its siblings. The key spec that sets this variant apart is the 4-core-per-jack wiring — meaning it's wired for 10/100 Base-T (two pairs per port), not the full 8-core gigabit layout of the 2301996-4. ## Shielding and Board Retention — The Fit for Industrial Ethernet That matters for any environment with motor drives, switching PSUs, or long cable runs where radiated noise couples into the Ethernet pair. ## No Integrated Magnetics — Plan for External Isolation This jack does not contain integrated magnetics. The 10/100 Base-T rating refers to the signal path wiring — the four cores per jack carry the transmit and receive differential pairs. The isolation transformer and common-mode choke must be placed elsewhere on the PCB, typically in a discrete magnetics module or a PHY with integrated magnetics. The 2301996-4 variant, by contrast, is rated for 10/100/1000 Base-T and uses all eight cores per jack, but still lacks integrated magnetics.","metaTitle":"TE 2301996-2 RJ45 Jack, 2-Port Shielded, 10/100 Base-T","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2301996-2 RJ45 jack, 2-port, shielded with EMI fingers, 90° right-angle, through-hole, board lock, gold contacts, 10/100 Base-T, RoHS3.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Modular / RJ Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Board Lock","LED Color":"Does Not Contain LED","Shielding":"Shielded, EMI Finger","Orientation":"90° Angle (Right)","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"10/100 Base-T, AutoMDIX","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Tab Direction":"Down","Connector Type":"RJ45","Contact Finish":"Gold","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","Number of Ports":"2","Shield Material":"Brass","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Housing Material":"Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)","Height Above Board":"0.531\\\" (13.49mm)","Base Product Number":"2301996","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Contact Finish Thickness":"30.0µin (0.76µm)","Number of Cores per Jack":"4"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$10.2200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$10.22000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$9.23900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$8.99480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":80,"price":"$10.67263","currency":"USD"},{"qty":160,"price":"$9.88869","currency":"USD"},{"qty":400,"price":"$9.82840","currency":"USD"},{"qty":560,"price":"$9.46663","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/5877a56a0ce8ab7095b3397ea5afdb22.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is the TE 2301996-2 shielded?","answer":"Yes, the 2301996-2 is shielded with EMI fingers and a brass shield material.
