Need a simple way to route signals through standard Ethernet cabling without designing your own connector board? The 7Semi RJ45 Breakout PCB provides a convenient breakout platform for RJ45 connectors, allowing all Ethernet cable conductors to be easily accessed through standard 2.54mm header pins. This makes it ideal for prototyping, industrial communication systems, custom wiring projects, sensor networks, and embedded applications where CAT5e or CAT6 cables are used as a convenient multi-conductor cable solution.
Unlike Ethernet interface modules that include magnetics or networking controllers, this board is a passive breakout PCB that simply exposes all RJ45 connector pins for direct access. It can be used to carry low-voltage signals, GPIO lines, serial communication, sensor connections, power distribution, or custom protocols over readily available Ethernet cables. The compact PCB layout makes integration straightforward while providing clear pin labeling for quick wiring and debugging.
Whether you're building a remote sensor node, industrial control system, RS485 network, custom communication link, or simply need a clean way to terminate Ethernet cables in a prototype, the 7Semi RJ45 Breakout PCB offers a reliable and cost-effective solution.
Features
• Breaks out all RJ45 connector pins to standard 2.54mm header pads for easy prototyping and signal access.
