Erni has developed Modular Jacks, with integrated magnetics, for 10/100 Ethernet. These jacks are right-angle, single- port configurations meeting IEC60603-7 performance requirements and GR-1089-CORE compliant lightening strike protection. The GR-1089-CORE standard applies to service provider network equipment and covers electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety. Two different circuit designs are available. PHY side diodes provide a low-cost solution for many applications. Cable side, high-voltage diodes offer the highest level of protection.  Both circuits are footprint compatible with, and drop-in replaceable for, standard 10/100 Modular Jacks with integrated magnetics. 

The single-port Modular Jacks with integrated magnetics provide effective grounding through shields with panel flanges on top and on both sides. Versions with integrated LED’s are available in a variety of colors.  In addition to Modular Jacks with integrated magnetics compatible with common PHY’s, Erni can customize products to meet customers’ specific circuit-design needs.

Connectors for all Ethernet data rates are available. The ModJacks are based on a patented design and specified to meet FCC and IEEE 802.3 requirements for voltage isolation and performance. The products are offered in single port, multi-port ganged, and multi-port stacked and ganged connector configurations.
