Use the modular ends only to identify the cable family; category, shielding, construction and installed-channel performance require markings or exact product/system evidence.
The answer
Short answer No. Read the printing on the cable jacket or the product documentation.
Not reliably from the familiar modular plug shape alone. Read the cable jacket/label and exact product documentation for category and construction.
Question pages do not create compatibility verdicts.
They reorganize facts and uncertainty already represented in the atlas. Exact-device, cable, protocol, power, safety and performance requirements remain separate where the evidence says they are separate.
Page scope: Evidence attached to records and cable profiles referenced by this guide; not a sentence-by-sentence editorial approval.

Scoped support: Eight-position modular termination convention: green/orange pair swap between T568A and T568B, with diagrams described from the front of the jack.
Not established / limitations: Termination convention only. It does not establish that an 8P8C-shaped port is Ethernet, its link rate, PoE support or cable-category performance.
Locator: T568A versus T568B pair-to-pin differences and diagram orientation note
Scoped support: Family-level structured-cabling patch-cord portfolio context only; not a universal performance statement for every patch cord.
Not established / limitations: Category, shielding, conductor construction, length and installed-channel performance remain product- and system-specific.

Scoped support: Named 1561797 M12 D-coded to RJ45 cable only; separate end ratings must not be projected onto the complete installation.

Scoped support: Exact kit identity; not a completed cable or a compatibility claim with TE 5-569278-3.
Not established / limitations: Exact kit identity; not a completed cable or a compatibility claim with TE 5-569278-3. No engineering dimensions or universal wiring assignments added.
Scoped support: Unshielded sheet-1 example only; no shield, strain-relief boot or fitted cable inferred.
Not established / limitations: Unshielded sheet-1 example only; no shield, strain-relief boot or fitted cable inferred. No engineering dimensions or universal wiring assignments added.
Locator: Both sheets visually inspected. Sheet 1 lists 6-569278-3 / MP-5EU-1 and the unshielded eight-contact plug; sheet 2 is shielded. Title block shows revision F, despite URL filename suffix c.
Scoped support: Exact named right-angle board-jack rows only; no plug-role geometry transfer.
Not established / limitations: P111/P112 are plug records, so jack values are counterpart context only and excluded from their pitch numerator. Port Configuration1x1 is not contact-row count. No Number of Rows field or inspected face drawing on this chart.

The common RJ45-style modular connector family has eight positions and eight contacts.
Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only
T568A and T568B use the same eight-position modular termination but swap the green and orange pairs: T568A places green on pins 1–2 and orange on 3 and 6; T568B places orange on 1–2 and green on 3 and 6.
Claim scope: T568A/B pair-to-pin termination convention viewed from the front of the jack; not Ethernet-service, cable-category, link-rate or PoE proof
For Phoenix Contact cable 1561797, the manufacturer lists IP65/IP67 under the M12 end and IP20 under the RJ45 end. The M12 end rating does not establish the same protection for the RJ45 end or a complete installation.
Claim scope: V121 named-product or explicitly scoped manufacturer distinction only; no wiring instruction, independent engineering approval or end-to-end compatibility guarantee.
CommScope identifies 6-569278-3 / MP-5EU-1 as an unshielded 8P8C modular plug kit. Its linked drawing 2843004 lists that exact material number on the unshielded sheet, separately from shielded variants.
Claim scope: Named plug kit, not a completed lead, installed-port function, cable-category test or PoE verdict. No equivalence to similarly numbered TE parts is asserted.
Molex identifies 95501-2881 as a right-angle 8P8C modular jack. Its chart separates 1.02 mm mating-interface pitch from 1.27 mm termination-interface pitch.
Claim scope: Exact Molex 95501-2881 right-angle 8P8C board jack; manufacturer mating-interface pitch only, separate from plug geometry or all modular parts.
CommScope's twisted-pair patch-cord portfolio includes RJ45 plug-ended assemblies across multiple category and construction classes, so matching 8P8C-style ends do not establish one universal category, shielding type or link capability.
Claim scope: Structured-cabling patch-cord family context only.
Recorded evidence only. An inspection date, publisher label, source link or generated packet is not independent technical review, hardware testing, fabrication approval or a compatibility verdict.
