Signal reflections from impedance mismatches create data corruption that becomes more severe at higher frequencies. Dense connector installations create electromagnetic coupling between adjacent channels that can corrupt data signals through crosstalk mechanisms that become more problematic at higher frequencies. The ix Industrial connector's miniaturized design enables star, daisy- chain, and ring network topologies in space-constrained installations while maintaining signal integrity performance. Environmental electromagnetic interference presents another challenge unique to building environments. IP67- rated connectors with integrated shielding provide protection against both moisture ingress and electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable data transmission where standard office networking components fail. C h a p t e r 4 | R o b u s t C o n n e c t i v i t y f o r S m a r t N e t w o r k s Advanced Power and Data Integration for Future Buildings Power over Ethernet (PoE) and emerging Single Pair Ethernet technologies fundamentally alter building network infrastructure by combining power distribution with data transmission, creating engineering challenges that require understanding both electrical and signal integrity principles simultaneously. Amphenol's magnetic RJ45 jack modules include built-in magnetics and LED indicators, fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (including PoE+ and PoE++) applications in multiple configurations (1×1, 1×4, 2×N stacked ports) with options for tab-up/down and EMI shielding while maintaining low-resistance contacts that minimize voltage drop over long cable runs. Security camera systems use RJMG jacks to interface PoE network video recorders with camera cables, ensuring reliable gigabit data throughput and integrated power delivery. Sarath Narayanan Lighting Connectors, Product Manager, Amphenol Communications Solutions Our selection as the Zhaga Book 20 standard connector demonstrates something crucial: we don't just comply with standards, we help create them. When the industry needed a smart indoor lighting connectivity solution, they chose Amphenol's FLM series as THE standard. Customers investing in our infrastructure are betting on the companies that define tomorrow's requirements, not just meet today's specifications." 22 Industrial-Grade Building Automation: Rugged, Reliable, Smart
