Product details

The TE Connectivity 5-2301996-7 is a 2-port RJ45 jack designed for 10/100/1000 Base-T and AutoMDIX Ethernet applications.

The shielding is not just a metal shell; the EMI finger contacts provide a low-impedance ground path to the chassis, which is essential for passing radiated emissions testing in a metal enclosure. The LED indicators — green, yellow-green, and yellow — are integrated into the port face for link/activity status, saving a separate board-level indicator.

A right-angle orientation means the plug insertion axis is parallel to the board, so the connector body overhangs the board edge; the board lock takes the shear load from the cable strain.
