The TE Connectivity 2301997-5 is a 2-port RJ45 jack designed for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet applications with AutoMDIX support. The shielded brass housing with EMI fingers provides a low-impedance ground path to the panel, keeping radiated emissions in check. Green and yellow LEDs per port give link and activity status at a glance.
Key Features That Matter on the Board
Board locks anchor the connector during wave soldering and resist the sheer force from repeated cable insertions—critical when the jack sits at the edge of a card where cable strain is highest. Each jack uses 4 cores, matching the standard 8-position 10/100 Base-T wiring scheme.
