| Stewart Connector Releases New ARJ45 Connector Series Stewart Connector has announced the release of the ARJ45 Series of high-speed Category 7a modular plugs and jacks. The new Series joins the Company's extensive portfolio of connectors engineered for higher-speed networking and computing applications, and will initially consist of a cable-mounted plug, and single-port, PCB-mounted jack. The ARJ45 Series is specifically engineered to meet the proposed Category 7a performance parameters of up to 1000 MHz, far exceeding IEC's current Category 7 standards (IEC 60603-7-7 and IEC 61076-3-110). The robust components' design is based on the proven reliability of the industry-standard RJ45 interface, and provides enhanced mechanical properties to accommodate the higher data transmission speeds. Moreover, they are interface compatible with Nexans' GG45 connector system. Stewart and Nexans collaborated to insure their respective devices' interoperability and intermatability, making the parts the only proven intermatable solution for Category 7a offered from independent manufacturers. Suited for Class Fa premise wiring systems, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and higher-speed data transmission applications, the ARJ45 plug and jack may be used as a low-cost connector replacement in closed-loop InfiniBand, Fiber Channel, EyeMAX, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), PCI Express, and microTCA applications. Further, as they comply with the proposed Category 7a specifications, they are uniquely appropriate for employment in data centers, healthcare imaging and financial applications. Manufactured of UL94-VO plastics, the parts are provided standard with gold-plated (50-microinch) contacts to ensure high-cycle life. Additional specifications include an operating temperature range of -40 degrees to +85 degrees C, and durability of 750 matching cycles. Their voltage range is 150 VAC, and current rating is 1.5 A @ 25 degrees C. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
