Schematic
Datasheet (RJ45)Product Overview
This is the SparkFun RJ45 MagJack Breakout, a simple board that lets you add an Ethernet port to your breadboard. The SparkFun RJ45 MagJack Breakout breaks out each pin from the Ethernet jack. This revision of the breakout includes the RJ45 MagJack connector already soldered to the board, so you don't need to solder the connector yourself or buy it separately!
The on-board RJ45 Ethernet jack includes a built-in transformer (magnetics), status LEDs, and shielding for better reliability. As stated before, each pin from the RJ45 MagJack has been broken out, including:
- P1-P8 (Pins 1-8)
- Y+ (Yellow LED Positive)
- Y- (Yellow LED Negative)
- G+ (Green LED Positive)
- G- (Green LED Negative)
- SH (Shield)
Please keep in mind that this RJ45 MagJack Breakout is for Ethernet networks only. If you just need a simple RJ45 breakout, we recommend soldering an RJ45 8-Pin Connector to our SparkFun RJ45 Breakout (RJ45 8-Pin Connector / RJ45 Breakout).
