Pulse Electronics has today announced the new 10GBASE-T press-fit integrated connector module product family. These 10 gigabit press-fit RJ45 ICMs meet IEEE 802.3 specifications and are available in common industry configurations: 2x2, 2x4, 2x6 and 2x8. The Pulse Electronics ICMs facilitate the implementation of 10GBASE-T in large enterprises and cloud data centers.

The products are qualified at leading 10GBASE-T PHY vendors, which enables system designers to eliminate extensive qualifications and accelerates time-to-market for their products.

Muhammad Khan, product manager at Pulse Electronics, comments: "Pulse's 10 gigabit press fit ICMs have a patented shielding system that prevents noise interference from adjacent ports, ensuring optimal data transmission. The ICMs are tuned to have excellent insertion and return loss performance over 10 gigabit frequencies."

Using a press-fit pin provides a pressure contact with the printed circuit board, eliminating the need for wave soldering. Detailed process specifications are available to assist customers with the insertion and extraction of these press-fit pin ICMs.

The 10 gigabit press-fit ICMs are packaged in trays. Prices start at approximately $6.50/port. High volume discounts are available.
