The most frequently used network connector system is based on the 8 pin RJ45, popularly known among specialists as the 'western plug'. This connector originated in the telephony systems of the 1980s and is characterised by a simple structure, efficient production, and trouble-free handling. However, increasing data volumes and transmission performance requirements are making ever-higher demands on the capacity of data transmission reliability of these connectors.
Erni thus called on its extensive know how and technology to refine its Mod Jack systems interface. This includes, in addition to the transmission quality requirements, economically efficient application by means of manual solder, automated SMT or press-fit technology.
There are innumerable variants of the Mod Jacks that will suit practically all network and IT applications. Erni's classic Mod Jacks feature 4, 6, or 8 positions with different pin configurations and contact qualities. They come non-shielded or can be provided with various different shielding options. The filtered Mod Jacks have the same dimensions and the same PCB layout as the standard versions. They protect telecom and Ethernet assemblies against interference signals and are a space-saving solution as there no longer is any need for filtering on the board. For the economically efficient transfer of signals to the front panel, there are panel jacks with IDC cable connection or panel couplers. In addition, there are inline couplers for the direct or crossed connection of patch cables.
And, as a match to the Mod Jacks, Erni provides their counterparts, the Mod Plugs - again in various different types: Non-shielded or shielded as well as with connections for stranded or solid wires. For customer-specific requirements there are protective caps in various colours, with different kinking and unlock protection variants.
Mod Jacks and Mod Plugs meet FCC and IEEE 802.3 requirements and are also certified in accordance with UL.
