Ethernet Connectivity Solutions

Ethernet connectivity solutions from VOOHU are organized two ways: by the industry your equipment serves and by the interface you are designing. Both paths lead to component-level reference designs that show where RJ45 connectors, LAN transformers, PoE transformers, common mode chokes and protection devices sit on the board, and what to check at each position.

Not sure which Ethernet connectivity solution fits your device? Tell us the interfaces and key requirements, and a VOOHU FAE will suggest parts and come back with a quote.

Component-level reference designs

VOOHU FAEs compile these illustrative reference designs for typical devices. Each board marks every component position, its function and the VOOHU part numbers available, so you can review selection notes and packages position by position.

From selection to samples

  1. 01

    Choose a starting point

    Open the industry or interface that matches your design and check the parts listed for each position.

  2. 02

    Review the reference design

    Compare the reference board with your schematic: isolation voltage, turns ratio, package and pin 1 orientation.

  3. 03

    Request samples

    Samples are available for evaluation, and selected parts are free of charge. Our FAE team will be glad to confirm the options for your project.

Solutions FAQ

Our FAE team can suggest suitable parts and help check the design.

Solutions by industry start from the equipment, such as a PLC, an ONU or a battery monitoring unit, and show every port and power stage on that device. Solutions by interface start from one circuit, such as an RS-485 port or a PoE powered device, and list the isolation, filtering, protection and connector parts for it. Most projects use both.

Can’t find your device or interface?

Tell us about your device and requirements. A VOOHU FAE will help with part selection for your Ethernet connectivity solution and come back with recommended part numbers and a quote.
