Bel Fuse : Announces 60W 4-pair, Power over Ethernet, NBASE-T / 802.3bz Magnetic Modules

Bel Announces 60W 4-pair, Power over Ethernet,
NBASE-T / 802.3bz Magnetic Modules
Increase your bandwidth while optimizing performance and cost

San Jose, CA [February 20, 2018] Bel Magnetic Solutions, a Bel group company (NASDAQ: BELFA and BELFB) and global leader in providing magnetics designed for Networking and Telecommunications applications, announces two new additions to its product family of 60W 4-pair, Power over Ethernet Magnetic Modules. Each of these devices would allow customers to upgrade existing 1GBase-T PoE products to be compliant with the NBASE-T and IEEE 802.3bz standards, while optimizing performance and cost.

Customers can implement a 2.5GBase-T or 5GBase-T solution, while supplying up to 60W of power over existing Cat 5e and 6 cable infrastructures. These devices can be used in either a PSE (Power Source Equipment) or a PD (Powered Device) and are compatible with all major 2.5G and 5GBase-T PHYs, including the latest current-mode and voltage-mode designs. The modules are backward compatible to older standards and available in an industry standard footprint and pin-out.

Part numbers: 2.5GBase-T: S558-5500-JD
5GBase-T: S558-5500-JV

Product is available at Digi-Key, Mouser. For more information, contact Bel Magnetics at 858.676.9650 or visit us at belfuse.com/magnetic-solutions. You can also send an email to our techhelp@belf.comfor further assistance.
