In summary, the ARJ45 is a shielded connector system which uses a shielded plug, shielded cable, and shielded connector. Applications for the ARJ45 connector system include the current 10G Base-T Ethernet protocol as well as future Ethernet applications with data rates beyond 10 Gigabits per second. It is also an excellent connector choice for closed loop systems requiring high bandwidth data transmission delivered over a cost competitive connector system with proven mechanical robustness. Since it is a fully shielded connector and cable system, it is a prime choice for applications requiring high levels of EMI shielding protection.
