Bel's New Transformers for Gigabit Ethernet Applications.JERSEY CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 1999-- A three- module (M8, M9 and P3) family of Gigabit 1000Base-T transformers is now available from Bel Fuse Inc. (Nasdaq:BELFA)(Nasdaq:BELFB), a premier developer of magnetic components for high speed transmission and networking. All are designed to interface with major IC manufacturers' transceivers requiring 1-to-1 turns ratio, including Broadcom's BCM BCM Baylor College of Medicine BCM Become BCM Business Communications Manager (Nortel) BCM Broadcom Corporation BCM Business Continuity Management BCM Business Contact Manager (Microsoft) 5400 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver and Level One's LXT LXT Linear Xenon Tube LXT Local Exchange Terminal 1001 NetCelerator chip. Further, the P3 module affords greater EMI noise suppression as it features an added auto transformer to support termination of the unused twisted pair. Bel's new family of single-port transformers provides voltage isolation and impedance matching for maximum power transfer in Gigabit Ethernet routers, switches, hubs, repeaters, servers, and network-interface cards (NICs). Moreover, devices comply with IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3ab standards and are backward-compatible with existing 10/100-Mbps Ethernet designs. Engineered for full duplex applications, each magnetic component supports four pairs of Category 5 unshielded twisted pair See twisted pair. (hardware) unshielded twisted pair - (UTP) Normal telephone wire (in the USA). It may be used for computer to computer communications, e.g. using a version of Ethernet or localtalk. It is much cheaper than standard "full-spec" Ethernet cable. (UTP UTP (uridine triphosphate): see uracil. (Unshielded Twisted Pair) See twisted pair. UTP - unshielded twisted pair ) cabling. They are provided in a 24-pin, low profile, small footprint package (0.700" L x 0.480" W x 0.225" H), and are IR reflow rated at 225 degrees C. In quantities of 10,000, Bel's new M8 and M9 1000Base-T transformers are priced at $3.65 each, whereas pricing for the P3 is $4.05. Delivery is six to eight weeks. An industry leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of magnetics, fuses, delay lines, and thick film hybrids, Bel produces quality electronic components for the global market. Bel's products are widely specified for use in telecommunication and data communication (LAN/WAN LAN/WAN Local Area Network/Wide Area Network ) networks, computer and power supply applications, audio/visual equipment, consumer electronics, and home appliances worldwide. Testifying to Bel's commitment to quality, all components are manufactured in ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9000-certified facilities in Hong Kong, Macau and China. Bel celebrated its 50th anniversary in January 1999. |
