It carries a Cat5 rating, meaning the twisted-pair signal path is characterized for 100 MHz operation — enough for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet links. The dual LED indicators (Yellow, Green) are integrated into the package, saving a separate board-mount LED and its associated routing.
Shielding and EMI Performance
The jack is fully shielded with an EMI finger that contacts the panel cutout or chassis ground. This is the right choice for industrial Ethernet ports, PoE injectors, or any enclosure where conducted and radiated noise couples into the twisted pairs.
Board-Mount and Panel Fit
The through-hole solder tails take the mechanical strain of cable insertion and removal. A board guide on the underside aligns the part during wave solder — no hand-bending leads. The dual-port, dual-row layout (2 ports, 2 rows) gives two Ethernet jacks in a single footprint, with the tab direction up and down to match standard patch cable orientation.
