Mod Jack Connectors

Filter

• 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  • Category 5 - Superseded Cat 5 in early 2000s for data transmission, uses two pairs of copper wire.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.

  • Category 315
• Mount type options
  Termination method of soldering connector onto PCB.
