Modular plugs and jacks meet emerging needs
Article Abstract:
Connector manufacturers are being challenged to improve present modular jacks and plugs from being devices capable of operating with low-speed analog communications to being devices capable of operating with high-speed digital transmissions. Connectors have become standard interconnections for premise cabling, including telephony and network cabling. Although many connector manufacturers have developed Category 5 solutions, they are still being challenged to raise performance, maintain footprint compatibility, increase reliability, reduce costs and extend solutions to all configurations. Also, shielded modular connectors are growing in popularity, used by most high-speed network device vendors because they allow users to use twisted-pair or screened twisted-pair cable. Although much development has occurred with line coding to accomplish high-speed digital transmission, while keeping a low frequency content, questions remain regarding whether present modular jacks can be extended to 600MHz.
