Microsemi Corporation and Tyco Electronics have joined forces to produce an advanced RJ45 connector with built-in power over ethernet (PoE) technology.
Tyco Electronics' RJ45 connector, enhanced by Microsemi's advanced PD69012 device help to reduce the cost, footprint and design-cycle time usually associated with the integration of PoE into ethernet switches.
The RJ45 connector will come in two pin-out configurations that are fully compatible with the PoETec 2.0 industry standard, with built-in high end power management capabilities.
Daniel Feldman, director of marketing for power over ethernet at Microsemi, said: "Tyco Electronics' leadership in the RJ-45 connector market and Microsemi's expertise in PoE technology and IC design enable a level of integration and functionality that is unique in the industry.
"Working together also brings us one step closer to rapid deployment of power over ethernet functionality in next-generation switches."
