Abstract
A stacked jack multi-port shielded and magnetically conditioned connector assembly is provided for assembly in three distinct configurations. In one configuration where power over ethernet is not required, the connector assembly has modular jack terminals which are directly connected to a motherboard. In a second configuration, the connector assembly can receive conditioned and controlled electrical signals to the connector, whereby power over ethernet may be provided through designated ones of the modular jack terminals. In a third configuration, the connector assembly is configured for an integrated power over ethernet card, whereby the device is provided as an integrated assembly.
