Devices Terminate AWG 28 and AWG 30 Cables and Accommodate a Cable
Diameter up to 0.160"
GLEN ROCK, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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. For detailed

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.
