RJ point five CONNECTOR SYSTEM Quick Reference Guide TE Connectivity's (TE) next-generation Ethernet link, the RJ point five connector, offers higher density cabling solutions for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who desire a competitive total cost of ownership per port-while maintaining the granularity of a single connector per channel. The port spacing is on a 7mm centerline, occupying half the space of a traditional RJ45 Ethernet link. In addition to the high-density receptacle, TE offers the mating cable assembly along with cable management solutions for single-box and rack configurations. The receptacle and cable assembly were redesigned to eliminate the undesirable RJ45 split-pair configuration, which leads to heightened electrical performance. Additionally, the latching feature incorporates an easy-to-use lanyard that facilitates 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.

RJ point five product currently supports 10/100/1000BASE-T applications or GbE RJ45 product applications. What are the PCB termination options? Receptacles are offered as press fit PCB termination style. Is application tooling required? Board mount receptacle connector will be press fit (see application notes for press fit tooling), Plug requires only a hand-tool part number 2031734-1. What cable lengths are required? Cable length and wire gauge are related to the performance characteristics of the cable assembly. Longer cable lengths require heavier wire gauge, while shorter cable lengths can utilize a smaller gauge cable. Smaller gauge cable assemblies provide many benefits to the data center operator, such as ease of routing, less weight and increased airflow. What cable types does the RJ point five plug accept? The cables which can be used with this product line are CAT5e U/UTP cable with center conductors of AWG 24 stranded tinned copper and Cat5e F/UTP, SF/UTP cable with center conductors of 26 AWG stranded tinned copper, a primary insulation diameter of 0.89--0.99 mm, and a maximum cable jacket O.D. of 5.80 mm.
