Procurement Notes

Verify the specific performance category and termination style against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the through-hole mounting method aligns with the target printed circuit board design. Ensure environmental conditions fall within the specified operating temperature range. Check for any specific RoHS compliance documentation if required by regional regulations. Validate pinout configurations against mating cable assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when Cat 5e performance is sufficient for the application. Consider the physical dimensions and panel cutout requirements during the layout phase. Evaluate the need for shielding based on electromagnetic interference levels in the installation environment. Compare against higher-category alternatives if future-proofing is a priority. Assess the thermal management capabilities of the surrounding assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader family of modular connectors designed for Ethernet applications. It complements other products in the TE Connectivity portfolio that facilitate network connectivity. The series includes various port counts and performance categories. These components are integral to building structured cabling systems.
