The shield includes an integrated EMI finger for grounding the cable braid directly to the chassis or PCB ground plane, which is the typical approach for keeping common-mode noise off the signal pairs in industrial Ethernet runs. This combination makes the 5555141-1 suited for equipment where the Ethernet port is mounted at the board edge and protrudes through a metal or plastic panel, such as industrial controllers, switches, or gateways. The part is rated Cat3 per the manufacturer's classification, which aligns with standard Ethernet cabling performance for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX signalling. ## Shielding and Mechanical Retention The shielded construction with an EMI finger is the main differentiator from an unshielded RJ45 jack. In a typical installation, the cable's shielded jacket contacts the jack's shell, and the EMI finger provides a low-impedance path to the PCB ground — this prevents the cable from acting as an antenna that radiates or picks up interference. The tab-down configuration matches the majority of standard Ethernet patch cables, where the latch is on the underside of the plug.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 5555141-1 Modular Jack, 8P8C R/A Shielded","metaDescription":"TE 5555141-1 RJ45 jack, 8P8C, right-angle, shielded with EMI finger, gold 50.0µin contacts, board lock, -40~85°C.
