Jersey City, NJ., Announced today by Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ:BELFA and NASDAQ:BELFB), a world class supplier of RJ45 connectors used in Ethernet communications, Stewart Connector proudly offers the new series of double row StackJack connectors with LED’s in 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 port configurations. These new part configurations will fall within the SS-74500 series. Our space-saving StackJack modular jacks offer the most features for maximum reliability and performance you need for today’s high density networking and telecommunication equipment.

This product increases end user port density in 1Gigabit Ethernet applications while providing LEDs within each port as visual indicators. This product features LEDs in both upper and lower ports that can be single or bi-colored in numerous color configurations. A typical application for LED’s in RJ45 connectors is to indicate link and data status. Our enhanced shielding provides optimum protection against EMI, and our unique panel tabs provide a high normal force for superior shielding effectiveness. The longer springs allow repeated insertions and withdrawals from a panel, and prevent “fish hooking” on the panel during insertion. The connector can be provided with EPP-918A contact dressing to increase the durability of the contacts to withstand heavy insertions and extractions of the mating plugs and provide increased protection in harsh environments.

Stewart Connector helps make global connectivity a reality by manufacturing electronic components for the computer, networking, telecommunication industries and industrial applications. Partnered with the leaders in these markets, we develop new products for emerging technologies that enable high speed communication.
