Tyco Electronics announces MRJ21 Ultra Slim Gigabit Ethernet Cabling System
Tyco Electronics’ AMP NETCONNECT business unit today announced the general availability of its reduced diameter MRJ21 Ultra Slim Gigabit Ethernet cabling system. The trimmed-down MRJ21 Ultra Slim cable assembly is .36 inches in diameter, about the size of a number two pencil. It weighs 40 percent less than comparable four-pair cabling systems, occupies 45 percent less rack space, requires 25 percent less power per port and promises to help reduce data center operating costs. The MRJ21 Ultra Slim cable assembly is a game-changer in the structured cabling marketplace, especially for data center customers who are seeking to optimize space in the rack, on the floor, and throughout cable pathways.
