George Washington's army used the area for camping grounds during the Revolutionary War. , Pa. -- Announced today by Stewart Connector, a division of Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BELFA)(NASDAQ:BELFB), is the availability of the SS-60300 Series of Category 6a PCB mounted jacks. The new CAT 6a jacks are the latest addition to Stewart Connector's expanding portfolio of connectors specifically designed to satisfy the demands of emerging high-speed networking and computing applications. Engineered to meet and exceed the 500 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. requirements of the CAT 6a specifications, the jacks feature internal compensation to enhance electrical performance without the need for extensive secondary compensation on the main PCB. The Series boasts a patent-pending design, which integrates the capacitive and inductive compensation on a flexible circuit board that attaches directly to the tips of the jacks' contacts, close to where the jack and modular plug interface. The proximity of this flexible board to the connection helps cancel NEXT crosstalk introduced to the jack from the plug. Moreover, as the flexible circuit board attaches to the jacks' contacts, the jacks preserve the standard modular connector Modular connector is the name given to a family of electrical connectors examples of which are pictured. These connectors were originally used in telephone wiring. Even though they are still used for that purpose they are used for a variety of other things as well. design to ensure durable and reliable connections. Stewart's newest FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. and RoHS-compliant parts may be confidently specified for employment in premise wiring systems, and 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. over twisted-pair copper cabling) applications. They are most commonly used in wall outlets throughout buildings to connect computers, printers and varied peripheral equipment to networks. Jacks are equally appropriate for employment on patch panels A group of sockets used to connect incoming and outgoing lines in communications and electronic systems. Patch panels allow for manually wiring the connections with small cables (patch cords), rather than automatic switching. at the consolidation points where buildings' network cables interconnect. These PCB mountable components are offered in vertical or right-angle configurations, and in shielded and unshielded Adj. 1. unshielded - (used especially of machinery) not protected by a shield unprotected - lacking protection or defense versions to afford engineers the utmost in design flexibility. Manufactured of UL94-V0 polycarbonate A category of plastic materials used to make a myriad of products, including CDs and CD-ROMs. , they are provided standard with selective gold-plated (50-microinch) contacts to ensure high-cycle life. Additional specifications include an operating temperature range of -40 degrees to +85 degrees C, and durability of 750 mating cycles.
