TE Connectivity introduces a new extension to its RJ point five product line that feature plugs without pull tabs to reduce clutter between routers and switches while still doubling the density of standard RJ45 jacks. As part of the extension, the new RJ point five coupler also offers easy integration with existing RJ45 plugs.
TE’s next-generation Ethernet link, the RJ point five connector, offers higher density cabling solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who desire a competitive, total cost of ownership per port — while maintaining the granularity of a single connector per channel.
The port spacing is on a 7-mm centerline, occupying half the space of a traditional RJ45 Ethernet link. In addition to the high density receptacle, TE offers the mating cable assembly along with cable management solutions for single-box and rack configurations. The receptacle and cable assembly were redesigned to eliminate the undesirable RJ45 split-pair configuration, which leads to heightened electrical performance. Additionally, the latching feature incorporates an easy-to-use lanyard that facilitates up to 96 ports on a single line card. Due to the density on the receptacle face, the light from the LEDs is transferred out through the cable boot, bringing the port indicator light closer to the end user.
Features and Benefits
- Double the Density – Double the density of standard RJ45 connectors and cable assemblies
- Clutter Reduction – Absence of pull tabs reduces clutter between devices
- Design Flexibility – Coupler allows use of RJ point five connector with an existing RJ45 plug for easy design integration
