FIBER-LIKE COPPER ASSEMBLY
| |
This very low-profile QSFP direct attach copper cable assembly is “fiber-like” in size. Its reduced bend radius and smaller diameter are designed for more aggressive routing, cleaner dressing of the cables in high-performance computing environments, and less interference with the closing of cabinet doors. A proprietary low-loss expanded PTFE fabric jacket allows for smaller diameter cables having the same 10-Gbits/sec electrical performance of larger outside diameter cables.
Key specifications:
- 0.170-inch diameter (4x channel, 8-pair cable) ? Proprietary PTFE jacket (1.3 dielectric constant)
Applications:
- High-performance computing applications (QDR InfiniBand, 40-GbE), top-of-rack switching installations

Click here to enlarge image The eXtreme CAT 6A QuickPort connector has been tested by Intertek/ETL to exceed component performance as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10. The connector features patent-pending triple-stage compensation designed to enhance permanent link and channel performance, and a proprietary Cone of Silence and metalized body designed to eliminate alien crosstalk between connectors in patching and work area applications.
Key specifications:
- Dimensions?1.44” x .68” x .885” (length, width, height)
- Fire-retardant plastic body
- Contacts?Copper-based alloy spring wire, plated with 50 micro-inches of gold
Applications:
- Support of 10-Gbit UTP connectivity in surface- mount, flush-mount, or modular furniture outlets, as well as field-configurable panels
- Support of voice, data, video over UTP, coax, and fiber

Click here to enlarge image This filtered modular jack connector protects equipment from conducted and radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI). These compact, filtered PCB connectors are intermateable and interchangeable with existing standard unfiltered RJ-45 modular jack connectors, are compatible with wave solder environments, and have a high temperature option for reflow processes. Low profile and narrow width are designed to allow for more ports in less space, while redundant shielding tabs help to ensure a low impedance ground path.
Key specifications:
- Versions?Inductor, capacitor, ESD (shielded or unshielded)
- Flame-retardant polyester thermoplastic housing
- Insertion loss (min.)?4 dB (100 MHz) to 20 dB (1000 MHz)
- Contact plating?50u gold
- Shell size?8-position/1-port through 8-position/ 8-port
- Capacitance/ESD value?0 to +/- 20%, plus capacitive and ESD select loads
Applications:
- LAN and WAN installation, network cards, broadband transmission equipment, workstations, peripherals, fax/modems, copy machines, multiplexing.
- Pin number?8-pole
- Dimensions?16 x 8.6 x 13.55 (length, width, height)
- 10/100Base-T, Gigabit Ethernet networks
- Industrial man-machine interface
- Current/voltage rating?1 amp; 150 volts AC/ 200 volts DC
- Insulation resistance? >5 x 108 Ω @ 500 volts DC
- Withstanding voltage?500 volts RMS for 1 min.
