TM31P Series - Shielded, RJ45, Cat.6A Performance Modular Plugs

HIROSE Electric Co. Ltd, a world-class leader in design and manufacture of innovative connector solutions, has developed the TM31P series that delivers a high-speed connectivity solution for 10G Ethernet applications.

The connector range consists of a modular plug, wire guide and covers.

TM31 series plugs have been tested by GHMT according to ISO/IEC 11801 standard and can support Cat.6A performance level (certified in 2013, based on patch cords).

The unique contact arrangement is placed over two rows instead of one to give improved transmission characteristics and optimized performance.

The metal shield gives protection against electromagnetic interference due to the 360° coverage of the engagement area. When mated with the corresponding connector the shield surfaces are securely connected to provide a continuous circuit.

A wire guide is available (ordered separately) to allow easy alignment of the cable conductors inside the plug housing. The user-friendly hand tool clamps the cable and terminates the IDC contacts in one simultaneous operation saving time. The hand tool can also be used on the popular TM11 and TM21 series.

The foldable one piece covers allow easy access to the termination areas. In addition, the cover extends over the release latch tab to protect it against damage during the handling process. The covers are available in 9 different colours from the TM21P range.
