VOOHU Field Guide: Selecting 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN Transformers and ESD / Surge Protection
10/100BASE-TX ports are high-volume, cost-sensitive and exposed, and often fail on ESD, lightning surge and EMC. This guide explains the LAN transformer's role and key parameters from the 100BASE-TX physical layer, how ESD/surge damages the PHY, and maps VOOHU's in-stock 10/100 transformers, integrated magnetic RJ45 and GDT+TVS+ESD three-stage protection to a selection table.
