The jack carries a Cat3 rating, meaning it is specified for voice and low-speed data applications up to 16 MHz — not for modern Gigabit Ethernet or PoE, but a solid fit for legacy telecom, basic networking, or industrial control panels where the cable plant is Cat3 or lower. The shielded shell provides a path for EMI bleed to chassis ground, which helps keep the signal clean in electrically noisy environments like a factory floor or a telecom closet with switching gear nearby. Board locks and panel stops are integrated into the housing. The panel stops set the insertion depth against a panel cutout, so the jack face sits flush with the enclosure — a detail that saves time during mechanical integration. The PBT/polyester housing is a standard flame-retardant choice for this connector class, though no specific UL94 rating is listed in the spec. The through-hole leads give a stronger mechanical bond to the PCB than an SMT version would, which matters when the jack sees repeated plug insertions.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 5555153-6 Modular Jack, 8P8C R/A Shielded","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 5555153-6 modular jack, 8P8C (RJ45), right-angle, shielded, gold contacts.

Cat5e cabling operates at 100 MHz and requires a Cat5e-rated jack to meet the channel performance standard. While the physical 8p8c interface will accept a Cat5e plug, the overall link may not pass Cat5e certification due to the jack's lower frequency rating."},{"question":"Does the 5555153-6 include an LED?","answer":"No, the 5555153-6 does not contain an LED. If you need an integrated status indicator, look for a modular jack with an LED option in the same series."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/5555153-6","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/5555153-6 when reusing this data.
