PoE+ 12-port (2x6) and 8-port (2x4) RJ45 Magnetic Jacks from Molex


(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 06 November 2014 Release date- 04112014 - LISLE, IL - Molex Incorporated extends its product offering for multi-port magnetic jacks with the introduction of PoE+ Enabled Gigabit Multi-port Magnetic RJ45 modules to meet a wider range of customer applications.



Available in 12-port (2x6) and 8-port (2x4) versions, these magnetic RJ45 modules are designed for use in high port-count gigabit switches and routers, providing Gigabit data along with enabling delivery of PoE+ 30W power to networked end devices.

'The Molex PoE+ Enabled Gigabit Multi-port Magnetic RJ45 modules are delivered fully optimized and pre-tested,' says Pat Tunn, product manager, Molex. 'This results in lower component placement costs, improved production yields and easier EMI qualification for the customer.' Capable of 10/100/1000Mbit transmission, the multi-port magnetic jacks are IEEE802.3 compliant; with an industry-standard footprint, they are drop-in replacement and provide switch manufacturers with a reliable source for the industry. The Gigabit magnetics within the modules are compatible with a variety of Gigabit Ethernet transceiver PHYs. The magnetic jacks feature two single- or bi-color LEDs per port, which support a full range of customer LED configuration requirements. Extended temperature connector options are also available.


PoE is a technology that defines the transmission of both data and power to networked devices over a standard Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies. PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) provides the opportunity for switch manufacturers to increase port-power output to 30W, The specification of PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) standard is backward compatible, supporting legacy PoE (IEEE 802.3af) devices.
