RJ45 Jack for Standard Ethernet — 8P8C, Right-Angle, Unshielded
It is an unshielded jack rated Cat5, meaning it supports 100 MHz signaling suitable for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T networks.
The Cat5 rating limits this jack to 100 MHz bandwidth — adequate for 10/100/1000BASE-T but not certified for Cat6 (250 MHz) or Cat6a (500 MHz) installations. The unshielded construction means no EMI gasket or metal shell; it relies on the twisted-pair cable's own balance for noise rejection. This keeps the cost low and the footprint compact, but in environments with high radiated interference — near motors, inverters, or radio transmitters — a shielded jack would be the safer call.
Gold Contacts and Operating Range — Field Reliability
The 50.0µin gold over phosphor bronze contacts are the standard choice for moderate mating-cycle duty — think patch panels, wall plates, and equipment ports that see occasional re-termination. The thermoplastic housing carries no LED indicators, so any link/activity status must come from the PHY or external indicators.
