Connector specialist EDAC has extended its popular family of connectors for
telecom, networking and entertainment applications with the addition of a
range of magnetic jack connectors that integrate up to ten of the most
sensitive discrete components inside a shielded RJ45 housing.
Mainly targeting 10/100 Base T and 1000 Base T gigabit Ethernet applications
the three device families in EDAC's edacJAX range of modular and magnetic
jack connectors offer single and stacked multiport options and LED
indicators that provide visual indication of port status and system
activity. USB or HDMI connections can be incorporated in the industry
standard sized housing. Rapid Electronics will be the first distributor to
stock the new edacJAX connector range in the UK.
Modular Jacks without LED indication
The edacJAX Series A00 modular jack connectors offer outstanding performance
in high-speed networking, voice and datacom applications. The devices are
available ganged or stacked for multiport requirements and feature advanced
EMI/RFI shielding within industry standard dimensions. A low-profile option
is available. The devices can be fully or partially loaded are fully
compliant with FCC Part 68, Subpart F requirements.
Modular Jacks with LED indication
Combining the functionality of edacJAX Series A00 devices with the
signalling capabilities offered by integrated LED indicators, edacJAX Series
A20 modular connectors are available with a single LED with matching lens or
as a bi-coloured variant that utilises a clear lens to enable the colour of
the LED to be changed by simply reversing the voltage polarity.
Magnetic Jacks with LED indication
Available in a choice of dual stack and multiport options edacJAX Series A60
magnetic jack connectors target 10/100 Base T and 1000 BaseT gigabit
Ethernet applications and are available with or without POE/VOiP capability.
Fully IEEE 802.3 compliant these devices feature spring-loaded 'fingers' to
ensure maximum resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and can be
ordered in tab-up and tab-down configurations to maximise design convenience
and compatibility with peripheral equipment.
According to Nathan Ashford, European distribution manager, EDAC (Europe)
Ltd, a shortage of board real-estate often precludes the use of individual
components in modern 10/100 Base T and 1000Base T gigabit Ethernet
applications, compelling the use of a high-performance, highly reliable
integrated I/O interconnect solution: "EDAC's edacJAX magnetic jack
connectors are able to integrate an impedance matching transformer, LED
indicators, a high-voltage capacitor and a common mode chokes inside a
standard sized RJ45 connector," Ashford said. "In addition to reducing
manufacturing inventory and boosting system reliability our edacJAX magnetic
jack connectors deliver a valuable reduction in system noise - EMI, RFI,
crosstalk and jitter - due to the reduction in the number of exposed
components on the board."
Janice Ratcliffe, E-Mech product manager, Rapid Electronics, said she was
delighted to be UK's first distributor of the edacJAX Series A00, A20 and
A60 modular and magnetic jack connectors: "It is exciting to be part of the
new distribution strategy from EDAC and my team and I look forward to
extending our partnership with a number of other innovative products in the
EDAC range."
