Stewart Connector, a division of Bel Fuse Inc., (NASDAQ: BELFA)
(NASDAQ: BELFB) today announced the release of the RoHS-compliant
SS-39200 Series of Category 6a 8P8C modular plugs. The new parts
are the latest addition to Stewart Connector's broad portfolio of
connectors, engineered for use in a range of high-speed networking
and computing applications. Notably, the SS-39200 Series'
mechanical design is comprised of both a wire aligner and load bar
to facilitate consistent twisted pair orientation during plug
assembly. The wire aligner is uniquely designed with a patent
pending "cross talk zone" which introduces a precise amount of
cross talk to the plug to allow for centered NEXT (Near End
Crosstalk) performance as per IEC 60603-7-51 component requirements
and ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 transmission performance specifications for
4-pair 100 Ohm CAT6a cabling. Due to the design of the wire
aligner, cable assemblers are provided with both a visual and
mechanical means to rapidly build patch cables that exhibit more
reliable performance characteristics than traditional CAT6 or CAT6a
plug assemblies. Additionally, the connectors' strain relief
provides superior cable retention and a 360-degree shielding
contact to enable a one-step termination process. Parts accommodate
typical 24 to 27 gauge solid or stranded cable due to their
patented contact design.
Stewart Connector's new SS-39200 Series of CAT6a 8P8C modular
plugs is offered to meet the requirements of commercial building
telecommunications applications and is therefore well suited for
employment in premise wiring, and computer networking technologies.
Among the most common applications for which the connectors may be
specified are on patch cords used in wiring closets to connect
patch panels, hubs, routers, switches and servers. The Series is
equally appropriate for use in office environments to connect
computers and peripherals to modular wall jacks. Parts are also
excellent choices for high-density, side-by-side applications as
they are optionally available with an integral strain relief boot
that does not increase the overall width of the part. Should an
application require an over-molded patch cable, devices are
provided without the boot to allow a secondary boot to be molded
onto the plug after patch cable assembly.
Plug, load bar and wire aligner are manufactured of UL94-V0
polycarbonate and feature 50 microinches gold-plated contacts for
robust, long-lasting connections. Additional specifications include
an operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C,
and durability of 750 matching cycles. Voltage rating is 150 VAC,
and current rating is 1.5 A @ 25 degrees C. For detailed
