RJ45 Connectors target Ethernet and PoE applications.
Press Release Summary:
MaxJack single-port connector, with straight design and integrated magnetic filter components, is configured for IEEE 802.3-compliant applications. Return loss is specified at -3 dB over frequency range from 1-125 MHz, making it possible to extend port distances beyond 100 m limit. Fully shielded MaxJack connectors are available in ganged and stacked configurations, with Ethernet data rates of 10/100 Base TX and 10/100/1000 Base T.
Original Press Release:
ERNI Expands MaxJack Family with Integrated Magnetic Filter Components to Include Straight Versions Aimed at Gigabit Ethernet and PoE applications
Adelberg, Germany and Midlothian, VA - November 30, 2004 - As part of its MaxJack family, ERNI has introduced RJ45 connectors that satisfy even the highest demands in modern data networks. The new single-port MaxJack, with a straight design and integrated magnetic filter components, is configured for IEEE 802.3-compliant applications, such as Gigabit Ethernet or Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). Thus, the new RJ45 MaxJack connectors are aimed at high-speed telecommunications and data communications applications in data storage devices, personal computers, network printers, and peripheral equipment, as well as in increasing numbers of industrial applications.
Reduced interference and space
By integrating the magnetic components - which would otherwise be surface mounted on the printed circuit board (PCB) - MaxJack reduces interference and saves PCB space. These fully shielded MaxJack products can be customized to match specific designs, and they are available for Ethernet data rates (10/100 Base TX, 10/100/1000 Base T). Further options include LEDs and enhanced ESD protection (Telcordia Lightning Strike Protection).
Patented design, short circuit paths
The angled RJ45-compatible connectors from ERNI are based on a patented design that makes it possible to integrate the filter elements without changing the size of the jack housing. The new straight version is also only slightly larger, and it can be aligned on a grid. The small, compact dimensions make it possible to keep the circuit paths short and thus achieve very good signal integrity. With respect to noise, the MaxJack series complies with the IEEE802.3ab specifications. Return loss is specified at -3dB over the frequency range from 1 to 125MHz. This makes it possible to extend port distances beyond the 100-meter limit that is recommended by the IEEE. The MaxJack connectors are available in single-port and multi-port versions in ganged and stacked configurations.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
The MaxJack connectors are available immediately, at $ 2.00 each in volume.
