PoE-Capable Shielded RJ45 for Industrial Ethernet
The TE Connectivity 5-2337992-4 is a single-port RJ45 jack built for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet with AutoMDIX and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. It sits in the 2337992 series of modular jacks, differentiated by its integrated green and yellow LEDs for link/activity status and full EMI shielding with a finger contact. The right-angle orientation and through-hole mounting suit it for board-edge placement in switches, industrial controllers, and PoE-powered devices where the connector must withstand repeated mating and cable strain.
Board Layout Fit and Shielding
Through-hole solder tails provide mechanical retention superior to SMT for a connector that sees frequent plug/unplug cycles. Height above board is 0.539" (13.69 mm), which sets the minimum clearance to the enclosure lid or adjacent board.
PoE and Signal Integrity
Rated for Power over Ethernet applications, this jack carries both data and DC power on the same four core pairs. The four cores per jack map to the standard TIA/EIA-568 pinout for 10/100 Base-T, with the spare pairs available for PoE power injection.
