0863-2X4R-54-F

0863-2X4R-54-F is a type of modular jack connector from TE Connectivity (formerly Tyco Electronics). It belongs to the series of their jacks which are equipped with magnetics manufactured especially for communication networking.

Description

The 0863-2X4R-54-F connector is a two-part modular design for snap-in assembly. It is equipped with an O-ring seal to protect against any dust, water or moisture. This type of modular jack has a dielectric-strength of 500VRMS for one minute. The housing is made of thermoplastic and is rated UL 94V-0 or UL 94V-2. The connector has the features specified by TIA604 - Class I & II. It has a 2.54mm pitch with a contact interface of gold over nickel.

Application and Working Principle

The 0863-2X4R-54-F modular connector is primarily used for transmitting Ethernet LAN and POE signals. This type of connector is used in Ethernet networks where computer, audio and video signals are used. These connectors provide a reliable connection between the two systems. It can also be used in data communication systems, such as VoIP applications, wireless networks, routers, switches and hubs.

The 0863-2X4R-54-F modular connector works on the principle of electrical signal transmission. This connector facilitates the connection between two or multiple electronic components. It also helps in providing a data path between two devices. The 0863-2X4R-54-F jack contains an integrated transformer which provides an impedance matching between the lines as well as protection from external interference. This also ensures that the signal is not distorted.

The integrated magnetics also help to reduce cross-talk as well as provide higher signal-to-noise ratio. It also helps to reduce any signal reflection which is caused due to impedance mismatch. The magnetics also help to reduce signal loss due to high capacitance.
