6P6C Right-Angle Modular Jack for Cat3 Voice and Data
The TE Connectivity 5520470-3 is a 6-position 6-contact (6P6C) modular jack, wired for RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 applications. The unshielded housing and Cat3 rating place it in voice-grade telephone, legacy data (10BASE-T), and low-frequency signal paths, not high-speed Ethernet.
Rated Cat3, this jack is specified for signal frequencies up to 16 MHz — the standard for voice and 10BASE-T Ethernet. It is not Cat5 or Cat5e rated, so it will not support 100BASE-TX or higher data rates. For a telephone line, modem, or low-speed control signal, the Cat3 rating is sufficient; for a data network drop, select a Cat5e or Cat6 jack instead.
