TE Connectivity RJ.5 Cable Assembly

From TE Connectivity, this RJ.5 cable assembly has an RJ.5 plug at either end. The RJ point five connector system offers a high density Ethernet link for those who desire a lower cost per port while maintaining the convenience of a single connector per channel.

The port spacing is on a 7mm centreline, occupying half the space of that of traditional RJ45 Ethernet link. The receptacle and cable assembly have been redesigned to eliminate the undesirable RJ45 split pair configuration, resulting in heightened electrical performance.

In addition, the latching feature incorporates an easy-to-use lanyard that will facilitate up to 96 ports on a single line card. Due to the density on the receptacle face, the light from the LEDs is transferred out through the cable boot, bringing the port indicator light closer to the end user.
