Pulse has announced a new line of dual Gigabit Ethernet magnetic modules for networking applications.

Pulse has announced a new line of dual Gigabit Ethernet magnetic modules for networking applications The IEEE 802.3ab compliant transformers are the first of their type to incorporate two ports and are designed for use in Ethernet switches for the implementation of gigabit Ethernet over both Category 5 and 6 cable

The new dual gigabit Ethernet magnetic modules provide electrical isolation and low common-mode emissions in a 20% reduced footprint, when compared with single-port modules.

The compact package has only 48 pins and will withstand industry standard reflow temperatures.

The popularity of Ethernet technology has grown to the point that today nearly all traffic on the Internet originates or ends with an Ethernet connection.

This popularity is likely to increase dramatically as the technology migrates from local area network out to metropolitan area network.

As this geographic expansion occurs, electrically isolating critical systems from the wider network will become increasingly important.

"Pulse's design team have excelled themselves, incorporating all the necessary parts required for two single-port modules into a single discrete component", Mark Jackson, UK product manager at Pulse commented, "This new transformer offers twice the functionality at vastly reduced cost and size".
