Stewart Connector's New RJ45 Plugs for Large Diameter CAT6a Horizontal Cables
June 10 2013 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Stewart Connector, a division of Bel Fuse Inc., (NASDAQ:
BELFA) (NASDAQ: BELFB) today announced the release of large
diameter Category 6a 8P8C modular plug (SS-39200-027). The new RJ45
plugs are the latest addition to Stewart Connector's extensive
portfolio of connectors designed to support Gigabit Ethernet
(1000Base-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) transfer rates,
along with PoE (Power over Ethernet). They notably accept a cable
diameter range of AWG23 to AWG24 and accommodate conductor sizes up
to 0.048" in diameter. The UL Listed, RoHS-compliant connectors are
specifically offered to support terminations requiring horizontal
cabling, which extends from the telecommunications outlet in the
work area to the horizontal cross-connect in the telecommunications
room. Horizontal cabling is often specified in direct connect or
consolidation point applications where link lengths exceed 10
meters (33 feet). Since the cabling used in these systems is
typically made of AWG23 or AWG24 solid conductor copper and is
larger than traditional patch cable, standard modular plugs cannot
be used. Due to Stewart's proprietary contact design and unique
conductor load bar, the SS-39200-027 large diameter plug is able to
terminate the large diameter horizontal cabling in the same form
factor as traditional RJ45 modular plugs.
Stewart Connector's low-profile, large diameter, modular plugs
are well suited for high-density switches and routers, and can be
used in both shielded and unshielded applications. They feature a
snag-less strain relief boot to prevent plug tab damage during
installation and a wire aligner to ensure precise conductor
placement during assembly. Moreover, the CAT6a connectors boast
360-degrees of shielding to protect signals from external
noise.
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.
Plug kits are offered individually bagged in packaging suited for
field installation as well as bulk packaged for factory
terminations. For detailed information on Stewart Connector's

Average pricing for Stewart Connector's large diameter RJ45
CAT6a (SS-39200-027) plugs is $1.93 each in quantities of 500.
Delivery is from stock. Samples are available.
