Bel Magnetic Solutions has announced a single port and eight-port 2.5GBASE-T MagJack ICM. These ICMs provide a cost-effective solution for upgrading end-product performance to multi-rate, NBASE-T Ethernet standards.
The ICMs are backwards compatible to slower speeds and employ industry-standard footprints and pinouts. The solution doubles product speed and bandwidth at almost the same cost as 1GBASE-T solutions.
