TE Connectivity’s CLOUDSPLITTER connector system is a single-cable solution for powered devices that delivers Cat5e performance and up to 250 watts of power over a single cable. The system is RoHS/REACH compliant, designed to meet UL444 and utilizes CM-rated cable. It is well suited for use in video surveillance over IP networks, intelligent building management, factory automation and wireless network transceivers
The CLOUDSPLITTER SMT cable plug combines eight 26AWG stranded signal conductors and two 18AWG stranded power conductors in shielded or unshielded configurations. The SMT jack is backward compatible and accepts a CLOUDSPLITTER plug or a standard RJ 45 shielded plug. Its integrated power contacts provide DC power at 5A and up to 50 VDC. Two LED lights are included in the jack assembly for standard data transmit and receive indications.
In addition, the CLOUDSPLITTER connector system has been named one of the Hot 100 Products of 2013 by the Electronic Design Network, a community of electronics engineers.
