Bel Stewart MagJack Advantage

At Bel, they use a manufacturing process where wire-wrap all magnetic wire to a metal post—as opposed to soldering wire to a pad on the PCB. This wire-wrapping process is automatable and allows for a significantly higher yield and field reliability than the alternatives. This allows them designs to be more robust and hold up to more sever operating conditions — which many customers agree allows them worry-free designs from the connector I/O stand-point.

Bel Stewart also owns several key patents pertaining to critical areas of the ICM performance. Bel use their depth of engineering expertise to help customers meet strict Emissions and Signal Transmission requirements that one can not just get from an off-the-shelf ICM.
