Colorful Modular Jacks Prevent Mismating

To prevent mating errors, the company's modular jacks can be customized to match the color of a cable assembly. They are available in standard black and custom orange, green, blue, gray, and yellow. Users can choose from three configurations: a right-angle version with an ultra-low profile, SMT jack, and an inverted version with a top latch. Target applications include network systems, consumer and office equipment, plus they can be used as a designated test port in systems for trouble shooting. Prices for the right angle, SMT, and inverted jacks are $363.90, $463.40, and $332 per 1,000 for 25,000 pieces, respectively. MOLEX INC., Lisle, IL. (630) 969-4550.
