Devices Terminate AWG 28 and AWG 30 Cables and
Accommodate a Cable Diameter up to 0.160"
Stewart Connector, a division of Bel Fuse Inc.,
(NASDAQ: BELFA) (NASDAQ: BELFB) today announced the release of
small diameter Category 6 RJ45 plugs (SS-39100-039). The new RJ45
plugs are the newest members of Stewart Connector's family of parts
engineered to support Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T). Offered to
meet the requirements of small diameter patch cables in data center
environments, the 8-position, 8-wire, UTP modular plugs terminate
most 4-pair, AWG 28 and AWG 30, 100 Ohm, stranded and solid
unshielded twisted pair cable. Parts accommodate a maximum cable
diameter up to 0.160" and copper conductors with overall insulated
conductor diameters of 0.025" through 0.030". Stewart Connector's
small diameter CAT6 plugs notably feature a proprietary contact
design and wire alignment system to ensure proper cable-to-plug
terminations and robust connections. They are provided with a pair
manager to facilitate precise conductor placement, repeatable
assemblies, and consistent long-lasting patch cord performance.
Additionally, a boot is included to provide bend relief at the
cable exit, protect the plug latch with a snag-less tab, and give
the finished cable assembly a streamlined appearance.
Optimized for use on CAT6 AWG 28 and AWG 30 patch cords, the
unshielded modular plugs are engineered for use in data center
applications where the density at the rack level is high, which
causes more heat to be generated by the equipment and more cooling
is required to ensure its performance. Cable bundles comprised of
AWG 28 and AWG 30 patch cords are 50% smaller than traditional CAT6
cables, which help facilitate improved airflow and cooling
efficiencies to reduce operating costs and help physically manage
large numbers of cables in a limited space.
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. Parts are field
installable with standard Stewart Connector's termination tooling.

Average pricing for Stewart Connector's small diameter RJ45 CAT6
(SS-39100-039) plugs is $0.48 each in quantities of 2,500. Delivery
is 4 to 6 weeks. Samples are available.
