The channels fit into a matching socket and the connectors lock in place with a tab making them secure but also removable. RJ45 devices, like all modular connectors, contain metal contacts separated by insulating plastic channels. The RJ system covers the physical connector, wiring patterns, and signal specifics. This was done to ensure compatibility between phone company hardware and consumer equipment. The various connectors developed using this system were categorized by the FCC in 1976 into the Registered Jack (RJ) system, giving rise to the RJ label. What is an RJ45 Connector?Īn RJ45 connector is a commonly used modular interconnection device matched with a cable to provide data communication service to various electronic devices and systems. In fact, RJ45 connectors are commonly referred to as Ethernet Connectors. The line has expanded over the years to include data communication mainstays, like the RJ45, which was developed for computer networking. This new connector system offered simple, quick, and convenient setup that could be customized on-site by a technician or installed by the user in the home. One of the most widely used types in the modular family of devices is the RJ45 connector.Īs we have learned in another blog topic, the modular connector system was developed by AT&T in the 1960’s and 1970’s to take the place of bulky phone connectors and their labor-intensive installation. Suitable surface back boxes are available - see TUK PLASTIC SURFACE BOXES.The use of modular electronic connectors has been one factor in the explosion of communication and data services around the world. The mounting plates will also accept 'keystone' profile connectors from many other manufacturers. Angled plates are recommended to assist with adherence to cable bend-radius requirements and prevent patchcord snagging. The jacks can then be fitted into the flat or angled, shuttered ‘keystone’ connector mounting plates. Closing the metal shielded sides completes the core and foil screen termination. The cable is laid into the termination cap, which is colour coded for both T568A and T568B, excess wire is trimmed and the tails are pressed into the jack. Connectors have a tool-free IDC termination system and accept 22-26AWG solid conductor FTP shielded cable.

All components in the series are white.Ĭat5E and Cat6 modules have a Krone-style IDC termination, colour coded to both T568A and T568B, plus cable tie loop, removable outlet identification strip and shutter.Ĭat6A connectors are a shielded ‘keystone’ profile, which are paired with a mounting plate according to requirements (order separately as required).

They have lightly radiused square corners, are available in both flat and bevelled profiles, and are supplied complete with mounting screws. Faceplates are available in 1-gang and 2-gang sizes, with 50mm x 50mm and 50mm x 100mm apertures respectively. Blank modules are 50mm x 25mm or 50mm x 12.5mm, the latter enabling a single module to be located centrally in a faceplate.
