Shielded RJ45 Jack for Cat5 Signal Paths
The Cat5 rating means this jack is specified for 100 MHz signaling — the standard for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet and similar 100 Mbps data links. It is shielded with an integrated EMI finger, which grounds the cable shield to the PCB ground plane through the through-hole solder tails, keeping common-mode noise off the signal pairs. The tab faces up, matching the standard RJ45 plug orientation.
Board Layout and Mounting
The single-port, single-row design occupies a compact footprint on the PCB edge.
