Good morning, I need to perform radiated emissions tests on a product with ethernet cables, but I'm not sure what the test setup should be. The equipment being tested needs an ethernet connection to auxiliary equipment (AE) that is not a part of the test.
I seem to remember discussions on the list a few years ago concerning routing ethernet cables out of the test area, and isolating them using ferrite cores. However, after looking at the radiated test setup shown in EN55022:2006+A1:2007, I don't see references to cables leaving the test area. 1) Does the AE have to be in the test area, or can it be moved away? 2) If it is moved out of the test area, does the cable need any ferrite cores or ISNs? I'd appreciate pointers to the relevant clauses.
