• Category
  

  The Category determines the transmission frequency and throughput of the cable / connector. There are 6 variations currently:
  

  • Category 3 - Introduced in the early 90s, uses a single pair of copper wires, still used in two-line phone configurations. Speeds up to 10Mbps.
  • Category 5 - Superseded Cat 5 in early 2000s for data transmission, uses two pairs of copper wire. Speeds up to 100Mbps.
  • Category 5e - Similar to Cat5 in appearance, uses four pairs of copper wire which are twisted more tightly and shielded to eliminate interference. Speeds up to 1Gbps.
  • Category 6 - Usually used for back-end networking. Speeds up to 10Gbps.
  • Category 6e - An enhanced version of Cat6, Cat6e has better shielding and a higher operating frequency of 750MHz. Speeds of up to 100Gbps.

  We currently offer Category 3 connectors.

  • Cat3 (8)
• Mount type options
  

  Termination method of soldering connector onto PCB.

  • Through Hole (8)
• PCB orientation options
  

  Defines the orientation which a connector sits on the PCB. Vertical (straight) is 90° to the PCB, right angle (horizontal) is 180° to the PCB.

  • Right Angle (7)
  • Vertical (1)
• Number of positions
  

  The maximum number of potential contacts. The position may not have a contact dependant on whether the position is loaded.

  • 10 (1)
  • 4 (1)
  • 6 (3)
  • 8 (5)
• Positions loaded
  

  The number of positions that have a contact available. Positions may be empty dependant on application requirements.

  • 10
  • 4
  • 6 (3)
  • 8 (5)
• Shielding
  

  Shielding offers protection from EMI interference.

  • Shielded (1)
  • Unshielded (7)
• Latch position
  

  The position of the latch, normally at the top or the bottom

  • Inverted (latch top) (5)
  • Inverted Offset (latch top) (1)
  • Standard (latch bottom) (1)
