General Description
Make connections quickly and reliably with this breakout board, which brings every pin of its 8P8C (RJ45) Modular Jack connector out to screw terminals.
These breakout boards are designed to be mounted in a panel, thus providing a convenient method of passing an RJ45 connection through a panel. The compact design of this board takes up minimal area on the panel surface, thus potentially allowing many connectors to be mounted in a relatively small area. Although the breakout board footprint is small, provision has been included for wire strain reliefs; holes in the board provide anchor points where tie-wraps can be attached, thus securing the wires at the edge of the board.
All RJ45 signal pins plus the connector shield are brought out to screw terminals.
This breakout board is perfect for production applications as well as experimentation and prototype work. It is well-suited for work with serial ports, sensors, data acquisition equipment, RS-232 devices, MODBUS connections, and other devices that use RJ45/8P8C connectors.
The '8P8C' designation on the modular jack stands for '8-Position, 8-Conductor', which is compatible with RJ45 connectors.

A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a "transition module", "terminal board", "terminal block", "breakout box", "breakout adapter", "terminator", or "interface module".

Panel Mounting
This product is designed to mount behind a panel face and extend through the panel. One end of the product features sturdy metal angle brackets with threaded holes (#4-40) to provide panel mounting capability. Two additional #4-40 screws (not included) are used to attach the breakout board assembly to the panel. The connector extends approximately 3 millimeters past the face of the mounting brackets, and thus the connector extends through the panel. A cutout must be made in the panel to accommodate the connector, and two holes are needed for the mounting screws. For more information on appropriate panel cutout size and locations, please see the product drawing document.
