Attend – 214A RJ45 POE++ Connectors: With the new 214A RJ45 connector series, the Taiwanese manufacturer ATTEND offers the basis for challenging PoE applications.
These are compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt standard and enable power transmission of up to 60W in 10/100M up to 10G Ethernet applications.
The RJ45 connectors in the 214A series are approved for industrial use at -40°C to +85°C and can be used in both PSE (power sourcing equipment) and PD (powered device) devices in a PoE application. With at least 750 mating cycles, these RJ45 sockets can also be used in applications where rewiring is more frequent. The 214A series consists of
| Part Number | BASE – T | Description |
| 214A-R131 | 10/100 |
RJ45 PoE Type3 Jack, 1×1 Port, R/A Latch UP w/LED, 57V 720mA, 30u”, 60W |
| 214A-R232 | 1000 | |
| 214A-R333 | 2.5G | |
| 214A-R434 | 5G | |
| 214A-R535 | 10G |
The data sheets are linked directly via the part numbers. The specification for the family can be found here.
In addition to wireless communication in areas such as the smart home, the wired connection of devices is still essential for modern applications in the networked world. One advantage is definitely that the power supply can also be realized via PoE at the same time and that it is not necessary to work with batteries or rechargeable batteries in the end device.
Particularly in the construction of new buildings (especially in industrial environments), the use of appropriate Ethernet cabling is important. In this area, the applications include intelligent lighting, camera monitoring and production monitoring with UWB RTLS systems, for example.
However, kiosk systems or point-of-sales terminals are also connected via PoE in the retail sector to make cabling as simple as possible.
POE++ IEEE 802.3bt Type3, with the maximum power of 51W defined in the standard for PD, offers a sufficient reserve to fully supply even larger devices with power.
