Nice little connector, I used eight of them for one project which greatly cleaned up my cabeling from other unusual 10 pin connectors I had been using. A word of caution: I had to manually take all my own measurements and don’t trust your PCB layout software footprints on existing RJ-45 parts either. Confirm your measurements, I had designed my whole board before these arrived and lost a week when I realized my footprint was way off.

The description says that it’s an RJ15 socket…?

  I agree, the description needs updating. also, the picture shows two. can i assume the price is for one jack?

SFE Eagle Library says that the footprint is not tested.
I can confirm that it works perfectly with this item.

What’s the difference between this and MagJack?

  The Magjack is more of a deluxe version of this. It has status LEDs, Metal housing, ect.

I shouldn’t have wasted a bunch of money buying these. They can be had for $0.35 at other online vendors.
