Molex RJ45 PoE+ Gigabit Magnetic Jacks with LEDs

Molex Ethernet Plus (PoE+) Gigabit Magnetic Jacks with LEDs support integrated Power over Ethernet Plus magnetics according to the most recent IEEE802.3at standard. The product includes ganged 12-port (2x6) and 8-port (2x4) RJ45 modules. The higher density of the ports translates into lower placement costs. Gigabit magnetics is compatible with a variety of Gigabit Ethernet transceiver PHYs.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows the transmission of both data and power over a standard Ethernet cable to networked devices. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies for each networked device. PoE+ is the latest IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet standard. It provides the capability for Ethernet switch makers to increase the supplied port power output to 30 W.

The Ethernet Plus ports are in a standard industry form factor, which makes them a drop-in replacement for many existing RJ45 ports. Each port has two single- or bi-colour LEDs and can be configured to support a range of LED display requirements. Applications include datacom and telecommunications, industrial networking, Gigabit Ethernet switch and router applications, and consumer home networking applications.
