Save space with shrinking USB connectors
The new series of mini-BTM USB connectors from Molex take up only about 1/8th of the space of standard USB-B connectors.
Power connectors meet SSI specifications
The new DPS/MPS power connectors from Molex meet the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) open specifications for backplanes.
There are 12 different versions available that fulfil 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, or 24 ports and even unusual configurations such as 2, 10, 14, 18, 20 or 22 ports in one unit.
The series 85572 outer dimensions and the footprint of these devices are compatible with the industry standard lately established by some early offerings in this new technology.
These Jacks allow 1Gbit/s data traffic over four twisted pairs of minimum Cat5E cables in premise wiring in between networking equipment.

Low insertion force for high-density connectors
High-density metric (HDM) connectors from Molex are designed for board-to-board connection in applications such as networking, high-end computing and telecommunications equipment.
The second addition is the so called In Line Power stacked and ganged RJ45 Gigabit-Ethernet Jack which complies with the IEEE802.3af standard and contains integrated magnetics with additional yokes and centre taps to supply power over Ethernet.
Also In Line Power HyperJack 1000 products are available in configurations from 2 to 24 ports.
The series 85576 products are mainly found in applications such as routers, switches, and hubs that supply power over the horizontal premise wiring cabling.
External devices are connected via standard Cat5E cables.
Peripheral devices such as VoIP phones, surveillance cameras, or even notebooks for charging batteries are powered via the Cat5E cables without the need to connect to power supplies.
For each separate port, power supply pins are fed out on the footprint to allow intelligent power handling (sensing the power class of the devices) in order to compensate for different power losses on the premise wiring.
Centralising the power supply into the routers, switches, or hubs allows engineers to back-up power and warrant power to the remote devices, independent from the local power supply.
This is mandatory for all emergency situations like VoIP alerts or surveillance camera applications.
Both families are designed to comply with PHYs from leading semiconductor suppliers such as Broadcast or Marvell with eight magnetic cores per port.
For other PHYs and/or extreme EMI/RFI requirements 12-core solutions are available on request.
HyperJack 1000 ports have been approved in new designs of the leading network equipment providers not only with regard to meeting the IEEE802.3 standard requirements, but also to comply with EMI requirements which are most stringent in those markets where unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables are used.
In cases where light emitting diodes (LEDs) are requested for link availability and link activity, the series 85572 and 85576 products are prepared to be equipped with LEDs for each single port.
