The TE Connectivity 2301996-8 is a 2-port RJ45 jack designed for 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet applications, including AutoMDIX. The connector is shielded with an EMI finger to contain radiated emissions and provide a low-impedance ground path, critical for maintaining signal integrity at Gigabit speeds.
Key Features for the Board Layout
Each jack carries 8 cores, matching standard T568A/B wiring for Ethernet.
LED Indicators and Shielding Detail
Integrated LEDs in green, yellow-green, and yellow provide link/activity status per port, with the tab direction down for visibility when the connector is mounted on the top side of the board.
