The Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 connects your Arduino to the internet in mere minutes. Just plug this module onto your Arduino Board, connect it to your network with an RJ45 cable (not included) and follow a few simple steps to start controlling your world through the internet. As always with Arduino, every element of the platform – hardware, software and documentation – is freely available and open-source. This means you can learn exactly how it's made and use its design as the starting point for your own circuits. Hundreds of thousands of Arduino Boards are already fueling people’s creativity all over the world, everyday.

The shields have been designed to integrate rapid internet connection into designs that use Arduino boards. Other shields can be stacked right on top of the ethernet shield, allowing for optimum functionality integration in designs. Both shields feature the Wiznet W5500 ethernet chip that provide an IP stack that supports TCP and UDP protocols. The W5500 also supports up to 8 socket connections at once.

• Operating voltage 5V (supplied from the Arduino Board)
• Ethernet Controller: W5500 with internal 32K buffer
• Connection speed: 10/100Mb
• Connection with Arduino on SPI port
