MRJ21 Cable Assemblies

Modular Cabling System Supports Higher Port Density in a Variety of Environments

Bel Stewart’s MRJ21® cable assembly products are designed to support increased patch panel density in telecom and premise wiring applications. This modular cabling platform supports network applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and Power over Ethernet (PoE). Cable connection options include left or right 45 degree angle, or 180 degree straight cable exit to facilitate various routing schemes to component racks. In addition, these cable assemblies allow a connection migration path from legacy products including punchdown blocks, modular plug breakouts, and standard RJ21 to MRJ21 assemblies.

Designed with a die cast backshell for future shielded applications, Bel Stewart’s MRJ21 cable assemblies are durability tested to 500 cycles to ensure unsurpassed quality and performance. Jackscrews provide a secure cable connection while the robust boardlock design allows superior PCB strain relief.
