Modular Jack
New RJ-45 Modular Jack with Keep Out Feature Eliminates
Mis-mating to RJ-11 Plug
Eliminating the insertion and mis-mating of an RJ-11
(6 circuit) plug into an RJ-45 (8 circuit) modular jack is a
concern for many telecommunication, networking, and
computer manufacturers. For example, PC manufacturers have
frequent calls from customers who do not realize they are
inserting a typical RJ-11 phone line plug into an RJ-45
Ethernet modular jack port. This mis-mating not only causes
the user frustration since the intended connection is not made,
but the modular jack can be damaged by the insertion of the
wrong size plug.
incorporates an integrally molded lever inside the modular
jack that blocks the insertion of an RJ-11 plug to fully mate
with the modular jack. The lever does not interfere with an
RJ-45 plug, however. When an RJ-45 plug is inserted into the
RJ-45 modular jack, the keep out lever moves out of the way,
allowing the plug to fully mate with the modular jack.
This design is incorporated into the Molex inverted modular
jack that meets Category 5 for Fast Ethernet. The top latch
feature on the modular jack provides easy access to the plug
latch during unmating. The modular jack is offered in both
