Product details

Shielded RJ45 Jack with EMI Finger — 8P8C, Vertical, Through-Hole

Board locks anchor the part through wave solder, and the panel stops set a consistent seated height against the PCB surface.

The Cat3 rating means this jack is specified for voice and 10BASE-T Ethernet signaling up to 16 MHz; it is not rated for the tighter crosstalk and return-loss margins of Cat5e or Cat6 at 100 MHz. For a Cat5-compatible jack, look to the unshielded or higher-performance shielded variants in the same series with a Cat5e or higher rating. The vertical orientation and through-hole termination suit board-edge placement where the cable enters perpendicular to the PCB, and the tray packaging fits hand-load or low-volume pick-and-place with a tray feeder.

Frequently asked questions

Is 5557969-1 compatible with Cat5 cables?

The 5557969-1 is rated Cat3, which covers voice and 10BASE-T signaling up to 16 MHz. It is not specified for Cat5e or Cat6 100 MHz performance margins. For a Cat5-compatible jack, select a variant in the same series with a Cat5e or higher rating.
