Radiatron has a new range of RJ45 connectors with integrated passive components and optional LEDs The connectors provide waveform shaping and improved common-mode noise rejection, each typically replacing up to six external components that would be used for these functions

Board space requirements, costs and manufacturing complexity are all reduced using the new connectors which integrate signal transformers, common-mode chokes, resistors and high-voltage decoupling capacitors into housings measuring 12.45 x 21.45 x 15.9mm.

Both through-hole and surface-mount versions are available and industry-standard housings means that they are easily interchanged with standard connectors to provide improved system performance.

Customised connections are available.

Designed for use LAN (up to 1000BaseT), WAN, VOIP, ISDN and E1/T1 equipment, the connectors optimise the rates of data transfer between PHY-chips and I/O ports by providing closely match impedances.

Their low profile makes them ideal for use in compact hubs or other network interface equipment and the optional LEDs are fully isolated for optimum EMI performance.

The integrated capacitor means that any unused pairs within a standard Cat 5 cable can be used for DC power connections.
