INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Industry Applications

These industry applications show where VOOHU parts sit at the Ethernet ports, isolated links and power stages of equipment. For each industry you will find the typical devices, the VOOHU parts that fit and any component-level reference designs, with a link to the full field page and its system architecture.

BY INDUSTRY

The industries we serve use VOOHU RJ45 connectors and LAN transformers in different ways.

Seven industries served. Pick an industry application below to jump to its section.

  • 01Industrial Control

    Needs isolated, surge-protected Ethernet and serial links.

  • 02Data Communication

    Needs Gigabit and 2.5G LAN transformers and SFP cages.

  • 03Security & Surveillance

    Cameras take PoE power and video over one cable.

  • 04PV & Energy Storage

    Relies on isolated SPI between battery monitoring units.

Industrial Control

From servo drives, VFDs and encoders at the field level to PLCs, HMIs, industrial switches and edge gateways, industrial control systems depend on robust Ethernet ports and isolated serial links. VOOHU supplies the connectors and port magnetics for PROFINET and EtherCAT ports, push-pull transformers for isolated RS-485 and CAN power, and TVS and GDT protection for 24 V field wiring.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • PLC CPU modules
  • Servo drives
  • VFDs
  • Stepper drives
  • Absolute encoders
  • HMIs
  • Safety PLCs
  • Industrial switches

02/ 07REF

Data Communication

Data communication equipment carries traffic from home and enterprise endpoints through access, aggregation and core networks into data centers. For ONUs, routers, Wi-Fi access points, PoE switches and servers, VOOHU supplies RJ45 jacks with integrated magnetics (ICM), Gigabit and 2.5G LAN transformers, Chip LAN, PoE transformers and SFP / QSFP cages.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • GPON ONUs
  • Home Wi-Fi routers
  • Enterprise routers
  • PoE switches
  • Wi-Fi access points
  • Servers

03/ 07REF

PV & Energy Storage

In a battery energy storage system, the isoSPI daisy chain between battery monitoring units has to stay isolated along a high-voltage battery stack. VOOHU supplies BMS isolation transformers for that link, push-pull and planar transformers for isolated power in the PCS and charging modules, and Ethernet ports and protection for EMS controllers and data loggers.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • BMS battery monitoring units
  • PCS / energy storage inverters
  • PV inverters
  • EV chargers
  • EMS controllers

Security & Surveillance

IP cameras, PTZ domes and video intercoms usually take power and data over one cable, so the Ethernet port carries both PoE power and video. VOOHU supplies PoE transformers and PoE-rated port magnetics, compact sink-board RJ45 jacks and Chip LAN for small camera housings, and GDT and TVS surge protection for outdoor front-end devices.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • IP cameras
  • PTZ domes
  • NVRs
  • PoE switches
  • Video intercoms

05/ 07

Power Grid

Substation automation equipment on IEC 61850 station and process bus networks needs dual Ethernet ports, fiber uplinks and isolated serial interfaces. VOOHU supplies port magnetics, RJ45 and SFP ports, push-pull transformers for isolated RS-485 power, and surge protection for protection relays, measurement and control units and distribution terminals.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • Protection relays
  • Measurement and control units
  • Merging units
  • DTU / FTU / TTU terminals
  • Smart meters

06/ 07

Pro AV

In professional AV, the cables and ports tell you which parts a device needs. Ethernet ports for AV over IP, Dante and SMPTE ST 2110 use RJ45 jacks with integrated magnetics or discrete port magnetics; HDMI and SDI interfaces use signal line common mode chokes and ESD protection; RS-485 and DMX512 control links use push-pull transformers for isolated power.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • Matrix switchers
  • AV over IP encoders / decoders
  • KVM extenders
  • LED video wall controllers
  • Mixing consoles

07/ 07

Consumer Electronics

Smart TVs, set-top boxes, NAS units, docks and smart home gateways need slim Ethernet ports that fit tight enclosures. VOOHU supplies low-profile and sink-board RJ45 jacks, versions with integrated magnetics, Chip LAN and low-profile port magnetics, plus common mode chokes and molded inductors for on-board power.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • Smart TVs
  • Set-top boxes
  • NAS
  • Type-C docks
  • Printers
  • Smart home gateways

One interface, many industries

Many industry applications share the same interfaces. If you are working on one port or bus, such as Ethernet, PoE, RS-485, CAN or isolated SPI, start from the interface solutions instead: each lists the isolation, filtering, protection and connector parts for that circuit.

Industry applications FAQ

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

In the seven industries we serve: industrial control, data communication, PV and energy storage, security and surveillance, power grid, pro AV and consumer electronics. In each of these industry applications the parts sit at Ethernet ports, isolated serial links and power stages; the field pages show exactly where.
