The 8 contacts support 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) with standard T568B wiring. The screen contact provides a low-impedance EMI ground reference.
Compared to standard circular connectors, the Low Profile series typically reduces mating face height by 30-50%, making it ideal for panel-mount installations with limited clearance.
Yes -- complete shielded cable assemblies with the screen contact bonded to the drain wire are available. Specify cable type and length when ordering.
