Why the Shielding and PoE Rating Matter for This RJ45 Jack
The TE Connectivity 2337992-3 is a single-port RJ45 jack built for 10/100 Base-T and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications — the spec that separates it from a basic data-only connector. The shielded construction with an EMI finger bleeds common-mode noise from the cable shield to the chassis ground before it reaches the magnetics, which is what you need when running PoE alongside sensitive equipment in an industrial cabinet or a PoE switch.
Board Layout Fit and Line Feed
This jack sits 0.543" (13.80mm) above the board — a standard height that clears most enclosures and leaves room for the cable plug latch.
