Compared to existing solutions on the market, the I/O mini-connector is superior in terms of impact and vibration resistance and offers a more stable connection thanks to a robust mechanical interface and a spring-loaded design with dual contact points. Furthermore, the I/O mini-connector family features superior EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding compared to traditional solutions such as RJ45 connectors.
The new Cat 6A I/O mini-connectors will support Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps. Combined with TE's existing offering of PCB I/O mini-connectors (right angle, surface mount), this new product will provide industrial manufacturers with a comprehensive solution for compact 10 Gbps (Cat 6A) industrial connections.
