power comsumption in RJ45 jacks with common mode |
|
|
I am taking over a design that I don't know too much about. It's a
network card that has an RJ45 jack with integrated magnetics. The
RJ45 has a CMT pin that is connected to 2.5V through some discretes.
What does this pin do? Is it a common mode tap? What does that mean?
What I really need to know is, does this pin consume any power?
Thanks, John

I did attempt to figure this out. I spent a week googling comon mode,
CMT, transformer, rj45, etc. I just didn't find any basic answer that I
understood. I could ask the vendor AE, but sometimes I don't want to
let them know how much I still need to learn....

Could it be for Power Over Ethernet?

uh ?
I know of
http://www.fciconnect.com/pdffiles/datasheets/950528-015.pdf
http://www.filtran.com/filtran/datasheets/8305.pdf
but does your design have an active component inside the connector ?
never heard of something like that...
or is it more alike the schematics on
http://www.intel.com/design/network/applnots/75222801.pdf
checkout the discrete part, might just be some ground thing |
