The ARJ45® is Bel Stewart’s family of connectors for Category 7 and Category 7a premise wiring systems
deployed in 10GBase-T Ethernet and higher speed data transmission environments. This connector family consists
of a cable-mounted plug and a single-port, PCB-mounted jack designed to meet Category 7a performance standards
up to 1000 MHz as defined by the IEC60603-7-71. Additionally, the ARJ45® can be used as a high speed connector
replacement for closed loop applications currently using less economical connector types.
Bel Stewart’s ARJ45® connector systems provide a competitive advantage in that they are built
on the proven reliability of standard RJ45 interface mechanics which have been enhanced to
support increased Category 7a data speeds. In addition, the ARJ45® connectors are interfacecompatible with the Nexans' GG45 connector system. This makes the ARJ45® / GG45 connector
system a proven intermatable connector solution for Category 7 and Category 7a that is
commercially available today from two independent manufacturing sources.
