New magnetic modules from EPCOS have been crafted especially for LAN applications. The new devices achieve both electrical isolation and suppression of common-mode and differential-mode interference. These modules are available in single, dual, and quad-port versions and are qualified to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C and IEEE 802.3. The electrical isolation can withstand a breakdown voltage of 1500 VAC. The insertion loss of the modules is -1.0 dB. Values of -16 dB and -40 dB are attained for return loss and crosstalk, respectively. In addition to the standard temperature range from 0 to +70 degrees C, versions with an extended temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees have been developed for industrial applications. Typical applications include 10/100 Base-T, 1000 Base-T, as well as Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). View the product announcement at the EPCOSwebsite.
