Product Details
Data plugs commonly used in networking and communication applications. Plugs conform to the FCC68 specification and are generally defined by WECO+ or RJ numbers. Each plug type is clearly identified by the number of contact positions followed by the number of contacts. By example a 6//4 plug has 6 contact positions with 4 contacts loaded. MMJ (Modular Modified Jack) and keyed versions are also available.
RS PRO RJ45 Connector Plug
From RS PRO, this 8-pin RJ45 modular connector is a high-quality solution to network cable connections. The plug terminates easily to a stranded cable to make data cable assemblies for ethernet connectivity.
The RJ45 connector meets the Cat6 and Cat6A standards and is backward compatible with other category cables, such as Cat5 and Cat3.
The connector is unshielded, and so not suitable for use in environments where EMI interference is a concern.
Features and Benefits
• 8P8C cable mount modular plug
• Suitable for Cat6 and Cat6a Ethernet Applications
• Compatible with RJ45 sockets
• Gold plated phosphor bronze contacts
• UL94V0 polycarbonate plastic body
Applications
RJ45 connectors are a standardized network interface for ethernet connections and are often used in LAN (Local Area Network) setups with UTP cabling. This modular plug is used to construct RJ45 ethernet cable assemblies, to connect devices or projects to a network. It is commonly employed where a hardwired network connection is necessary, or in server racks.
This standardized RJ45 plug is still widely used in;
• Modems
• PC and Laptop computers
• Smart televisions
