Molex Offers HyperJack 1000 Gigabit PoE Module

Molex Inc. (India), an electronic components company, announced its new HyperJack™ 1,000 GB Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) module, which provides PoE management functions embedded within an RJ-45 connector. The multi-port module integrates magnetics that support Ethernet 10/100/1,000 and high-performance power management silicon from Texas Instruments Inc. (TI, Dallas, TX).

The HyperJack 1,000 module's fully shielded connector is available in multiple port configurations, including 2 x 4 and 2 x 6. In addition, the PoE module contains up to three TI TPS2384 power-management integrated circuits. The quad-port TPS2384 power manager can support operation over the temperature range -40 °C to +125 °C for a wide range of commercial, industrial and military uses. Potential applications range from enterprise systems with up to 128 ports to low-port-count hub Ethernet switches for small office and home office applications.

The HyperJack 1,000 PoE module is currently undergoing qualification at selected customers, and is scheduled to be released to the market in the fourth quarter of this year.
