Magnetics Modules target 10 GBASE-T PHY transceivers.

Press Release Summary:




Supporting 1:1 turn ratio ICs, S558-10GB-XX Series 10GBASE-T LAN magnetics modules address transmission standards of 10 GbE data over copper LAN. They meet IEEE 802.3an requirements for operation over 100 m on CAT6A/CAT7 cabling. Single-port, SMT modules offer optimized insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk performance; isolation voltage of 1,500 Vrms; and variable minimum primary inductance. At 0.610 x 0.480 x 0.290 in., 24-pin units operate in temperatures from 0-70°C.

Bel's New 10 GbE LAN Magnetics Modules Designed for Most Popular 10GBASE-T PHY Transceivers



Modules Support 1:1 Turns Ratio ICs in Wide Range of Next-Generation, Bandwidth-Intensive Applications

Jersey City, NJ, May 12, 2009...Announced today by Bel Fuse Inc., a premier developer of magnetic-based solutions for high-speed networking and computer applications, is the S558-10GB-XX Series of 10GBASE-T LAN magnetics modules offered to address the transmission standards of 10GbE data over copper LANs. The SMT series is capable of handling the high bandwidth needed to support the continuing convergence of voice/video/data networking, high-performance computing, and storage traffic in the enterprise and data center. Notably meeting the IEEE 802.3an requirements for operation over 100 meters on CAT6A/CAT7 cabling, the series is qualified with leading IC manufacturers' 10GBASE-T transceivers.

Bel's new single-port, SMT LAN magnetics modules are design engineers' preferred choice for use with 1:1 turns ratio 10GBASE-T PHY chips. The low-profile devices are commonly employed in high density, high performance data services, including video over the Internet, and higher-speed network switches, routers and servers.

The new series of parts boasts excellent insertion loss, return loss and crosstalk performance to support networks' optimal performance and reliability. Electrical specifications include an isolation voltage of 1500 Vrms, and variable minimum primary inductance as dictated by PHY requirements. Operating temperature range is 0 degrees C to 70 degrees C. Additionally, the 24-pin, low-profile modules feature a 0.610" (L) X 0.480" (W) X 0.290" (H) space-saving footprint. The RoHS-compliant parts are compatible with reflow processes up to 245 degrees C peak.
