Product details

Shielded RJ45 Jack with Toolless Panel Lock

It carries gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with a 49.3µin (1.25µm) finish, giving it the corrosion resistance and mating-cycle endurance for repeated field connects and disconnects. The jack is keyed and includes a panel lock that engages without tools — a detail that speeds up panel builds and service swaps in equipment racks or industrial enclosures.

Panel Mount and Termination

The straight orientation keeps the cable exit aligned with the panel face. The toolless lock means the jack snaps into the panel opening without additional hardware, which is handy for field retrofits or production lines where assembly speed matters. The user-selectable tab direction lets you orient the locking tab on the mating RJ45 plug to suit the cable routing.

Frequently asked questions

Is 216811-1 suitable for PoE applications?

The evidence does not list a PoE-specific rating such as per-contact current or voltage for power-over-Ethernet. The 8p8c contact arrangement and shielded construction are typical for Ethernet jacks, but without a stated current or voltage rating, PoE suitability cannot be confirmed from this data alone.
