HIROSE Electric Co. Ltd, a world-class leader in design and manufacture of innovative connector solutions, has developed the TM11 series that delivers a high-speed connectivity solution for Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX applications.

The connector range consists of modular plugs and jacks.

TM11 series plugs have been tested by GHMT according to ISO/IEC 11801 standard and can support Cat.5 performance level (certified in 2000, based on a channel link installation).

The shield around the modular jack outer surface and the built-in multiple shield and ground contacts provide a reliable panel mount connection. In addition, the metal shield on the plug gives protection against electromagnetic interference due to the 360° coverage of the engagement area. When mated together the shield surfaces are securely connected to provide a reliable continuous circuit. A wire guide is available 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 TM21 and TM31 series.

The TM11P covers are available in 8 different colours as shown. In addition angled covers are available for design flexibility. Foldable one piece covers from the TM21P series allow easy access to the plug termination area and can also be used on the TM11 series*.
