Shielded RJ45 for 10/100 Base-T with EMI Control
The TE Connectivity 5-2301994-3 is a single-port RJ45 jack built for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet applications.
Ethernet Duty and Pinout Reality
This jack is rated for 10/100 Base-T and AutoMDIX — Fast Ethernet, not Gigabit. 10/100 Base-T uses two of the four twisted pairs (pins 1,2,3,6), which aligns with the 4 cores per jack; the unused pairs are simply not connected inside the jack. AutoMDIX support means the PHY can auto-sense a straight or crossover cable, simplifying board layout by removing the need for an external crossover switch.
Right-angle through-hole mounting with solder termination. The tab faces up. Tray packaging — typical for manual or low-volume assembly lines.
Active lifecycle per TE.
