CJSUD688TGGRY Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CJSUD688TGGRY is a Panduit Mini-Com® TX6™ PLUS Keystone connector module designed as an insert modular jack with 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) exterior connection and IDC pressdown/punchdown block interior termination. This shielded Cat6-rated component features gray ABS exterior housing with white polycarbonate interior housing and phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish.

The CJSUD688TGGRY is classified as obsolete. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for installations, maintenance, and replacement applications where this connector module is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CJSUD688TGGRY is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Modular Jack 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Interior termination method: IDC, Pressdown, Punchdown Block
• Category rating: Cat6
• Shielding requirement: Shielded
• Operating temperature range: -10°C ~ 65°C
• Housing materials: ABS exterior, PC interior
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variations:

• Exterior housing color
• Interior housing color
• Contact material composition
• Contact finish specifications
• Product status (active vs. obsolete)
• Series designation within Mini-Com® family

The substitute part CJS688TGGRY meets all mandatory matching parameters while differing in exterior color (green vs. gray), contact material (copper vs. phosphor bronze), and product status (active vs. obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CJS688TGGRY serves as a functional equivalent to the obsolete CJSUD688TGGRY for applications requiring Cat6 shielded modular jack keystone connectors with IDC pressdown termination.

Selection Basis:

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector type, termination method, category rating, shielding, and operating temperature range. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current installations and new deployments.

The primary distinction is product status: the CJSUD688TGGRY is obsolete while the CJS688TGGRY is active. The active status of CJS688TGGRY ensures continued manufacturing support, inventory availability, and supply chain reliability for ongoing procurement requirements.

Secondary differences in exterior color (gray to green) and contact material composition (phosphor bronze to copper) do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility within the specified operating parameters. These variations represent manufacturing evolution within the Mini-Com® family while maintaining functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CJS688TGGRY replace CJSUD688TGGRY in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (8p8c RJ45), termination method (IDC pressdown), category rating (Cat6), shielding, and operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 65°C). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between gray and green housing?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and organizational designation that does not affect electrical performance or mechanical function. Color selection is typically driven by installation standards or organizational preferences for circuit identification.

Q: Does the contact material change from phosphor bronze to copper affect performance?

A: Both phosphor bronze and copper are acceptable contact materials for Cat6 Ethernet applications. The change represents material evolution within the product line while maintaining electrical specifications and performance characteristics required for Cat6 rated connections.

Q: Why is product status important for substitution?

A: The CJSUD688TGGRY is obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The CJS688TGGRY is active, ensuring ongoing production, inventory availability, and manufacturer support. Active status is critical for long-term supply chain reliability and future procurement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements for current and future installations.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The CJSUD688TGGRY is listed with unspecified packaging, while CJS688TGGRY is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications for your application.
