In the design of professional-grade networking hardware, port density must be balanced with signal integrity. The 1×4 Port Shielded RJ45 8P8C 90-Degree Modular Jack by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. is a high-performance ganged connector that houses four independent Ethernet ports within a single, fully shielded enclosure.
Manufactured in India, this Quad-Port (1×4) assembly is specifically engineered for high-speed data environments where Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) must be suppressed to ensure error-free transmission across all channels.
Size: 53.34×21.3×13.65mm height
Part code: JP-S1-8P8C-4PS
High-Density Shielding for Noise-Sensitive Environments
Unlike unshielded multi-port connectors, the Pran Shielded 1×4 RJ45 features a comprehensive metal shroud that provides critical advantages for modern electronics:
-
360 degree EMI/RFI Protection: The integrated brass shield (with nickel plating) wraps around all four ports, preventing external noise from disrupting data packets and minimizing crosstalk between adjacent ports.
-
Superior Grounding: Multiple grounding tabs ensure a secure, low-impedance path to the PCB ground plane, essential for meeting global EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards.
-
Structural Rigidity: The unified metal shield adds significant mechanical strength to the 1×4 block, protecting the internal thermoplastic housing from physical stress during the simultaneous connection of multiple heavy-duty Ethernet cables.
Key Product Features
-
Integrated 1×4 Design: Replaces four individual connectors with a single component, reducing the Bill of Materials (BOM) and simplifying PCB assembly and alignment.
-
90-Degree (Right Angle) Orientation: Side-entry design is optimized for horizontal mounting, ideal for 1U rack-mount servers and low-profile networking switches.
-
8P8C Standard Interface: Each of the four ports features a full 8-position, 8-contact layout, fully compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 standards.
-
Premium Gold-Plated Contacts: Contacts are selectively gold-plated over nickel to ensure maximum conductivity and a lifespan rated for thousands of mating cycles.
-
High-Temperature Housing: Constructed from UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic to withstand professional wave soldering processes.
-
Make in India: Produced by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd., providing high-quality domestic sourcing for Indian OEMs and global exporters.
