RJ45 sockets integrate status LEDs

By incorporating the LEDs within the RJ45 socket itself, GTK has kept the size of single-socket devices down to 15.15 x 15.75mm for the unshielded version – 13.15 x 13.46 for shielded devices - these feature conductive tabs to ground directly to a panel.

Light Jack sockets can include either one or two LEDs each, in red, green, yellow and bi-colour yellow/green or red/green. Located on top of the socket for easy visibility, the LEDs can be programmed to perform different functions, including on/off status indicator or flashing indicator of data traffic.

In addition to single-socket connectors, ‘harmonica’ variants are available incorporating up to eight sockets and 16 LEDs. A specially developed inverted latch on top of each socket allows easy plug insertion and removal

They are available in through-hole or surface mount assembly styles. All Light Jacks meet or exceed FCC Part 68 specifications.
