The TE Connectivity 1-406541-6 is a right-angle shielded modular jack, 8P8C (RJ45, Ethernet), with a Cat5 rating. It's the go-to when you need a shielded Ethernet port on a PCB that sits parallel to the board edge — the right-angle orientation keeps the cable exit low-profile, and the EMI finger on the shield bleeds chassis ground before it reaches the signal pins.
