This RJ45 breakout board brings all 8 pins of its 8P8C modular jack out to screw terminal blocks for easy connection and prototyping work. Each pin is also brought to solder pads (5 per line) at 0.1" spacing, allowing easy addition of standard pin headers. This break out board is perfect for experimentation and prototype work, as well as for use in the educational laboratory. It is well-suited for work with serial ports, data acquisition equipment, and any other device that uses an RJ45/8P8C connector. A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a "transition module", "terminal board", or "interface module". For those working with ethernet networks, please note that this board is not CAT5 certified. However, our experience so far shows that these boards can been used on 100Mbps ethernet networks without introducing problems. As usual, the wires you connect to the breakout board's screw terminals should maintain their twist as close to the screw terminals as possible.
