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 Molex has designed an RJ-45 modular jack with an RJ-11 plug unshielded and shielded configurations. keep out feature that prevents mis-mating.
