PHY Selected. Which Transformer and RJ45 Fit?
Share your PHY and application conditions. Our engineers return candidate combinations, operating conditions, and document versions. Unreviewed combinations are clearly marked "Engineering review required".
WHEN TO USE
Situations You May Be Facing
Not the right page if:
- You want to replace an existing transformer → Find a Replacement
- The Ethernet port is already failing → Troubleshooting
- You only need a compact part → Filter by Size
-
PHY or Switch Chip Already Selected
The main chip is decided and you need a matching LAN transformer and RJ45, preferably a reviewed reference combination rather than filtering parts yourself.
-
Multi-Port or High-Speed Design
2.5G / 5G / 10G or multi-port designs need tight return loss, crosstalk, and port consistency, so test conditions at the target speed must be confirmed.
-
PoE Is Involved
PSE or PD role and power class (af / at / bt) directly affect the transformer center tap and RJ45 choice and must be checked together.
-
Space or Mounting Constraints
Board height, panel cutout, SMT or through-hole requirements call for a suitable package that still meets the electrical match.

MATCHING DIMENSIONS
How We Match
Each combination is labeled with one of three statuses:Reviewed reference design / Parameter match (with conditions) / Engineering review required
-
Speed & Interface
10/100M, 1G, 2.5G/5G/10G and MDI interface type. We confirm the datasheet test band covers the target speed.
-
Ports & Layout
Single, dual, or stacked multi-port, with crosstalk and consistency requirements. RJ45 and transformer port counts must match.
-
PoE Role & Power
PSE / PD and af / at / bt power class, which set the center tap current rating and the RJ45 current rating.
-
Electrical Match
Turns ratio, OCL, insertion loss, return loss, CMRR, and isolation voltage against the PHY datasheet recommendations.
-
Temperature & Environment
Industrial or commercial temperature range, protection rating, salt spray or vibration requirements.
-
Package & Mounting
Height, footprint, SMT or through-hole, shielding or LEDs, and PCB layout and land pattern constraints.
FROM OUR REFERENCE DESIGNS
PHY, LAN Transformer and RJ45 Combinations in VOOHU Reference Designs
Each row lists the PHY or switch IC, LAN transformer and RJ45 jack placed together on one Ethernet port of a published VOOHU reference design. Open the reference design to see the full signal chain.
These combinations are taken from VOOHU reference designs and have not yet been individually confirmed by our FAE team, so please verify them with samples in your design and contact our FAE team if you need a combination confirmed. Contact our FAE team →

- A MagJack is an RJ45 jack with integrated magnetics, so no separate LAN transformer is needed.
- VOOHU is an authorized distributor for JLSemi Ethernet PHY and switch ICs; the LAN transformers and RJ45 jacks are VOOHU parts.
- The last two rows are category-level pairings from the Works with section of our LAN transformer product pages; they do not name a specific part.
