Expanded range of Ethernet connectors with integrated magnetics that save space, cut costs and improve system performance

2006-03-02

DT Electronics has announced an expanded range of integrated magnetic components from E&E that now includes 10 Base-T, 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet connectors. New options for each type include integral USB connectors, power-over-Ethernet connections and built-in LEDs for status indication. Integrating the magnetics within the connectors improves performance, particularly in high-speed data applications.

The shorter signal paths created when using these components enables better filtering to be achieved. This improves signal integrity and maximises data transmission distances. The high degree of integration in these connectors reduces the number of external components, cutting inventory requirements. It also saves board space and reduces manufacturing costs.

All of the connector are UL listed and comply with relevant IEEEE standards. They are available in a wide range of formats from single port to 2 x 8 format. A selection guide and cross-reference to other manufacturers’ products is available.
