Frequently Asked Questions

What Ethernet speeds are supported?

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.

How much height does the low profile design save?

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.

Is a shielded cable assembly available?

Yes -- complete shielded cable assemblies with the screen contact bonded to the drain wire are available. Specify cable type and length when ordering.
