Hello, We don't do routine OATS evaluation of stand-alone ITE products (other than items integrated in to our products,) so pardon my ignorance or poorly thought out questions.
I have a couple of 8 port gigabit network switches I would like to evaluate on the OATS. ANSI C63.4-2003 gives me some guidance in this area, such as "each I/O port being terminated in typical load of actual usage." What kind of a circuit would I used for IEEE 802.3AB load? I am thinking transformer (?) passive, but placed where??? Directly plugged into the 8 port switch or placed on the end of short (length?) Ethernet cable? If I use short cables, how do I not create 8 small horizontal antennas 1 meter high? Comments?
