That sounds like an excellent suggestion to me. It does raise one unrelated question in my mind, because I know little about Ethernet. This is just for my own understanding, it doesn't bear on the original post. Why is it you can get 100 MHz on phone-line type Ethernet cable, but only 10 MHz

Hello Gary, May I suggest going to older Ethernet hardware? There are 10BaseT to 10Base2 Ethernet adapters. You may have to look in a computer resale shop to find this older hardware. This will get you to the older 50 ohm coaxial Ethernet connection. You should have no trouble getting the

Gary, There are RJ45 fiber optic converter boxes out there. In the past, we have used black box fiber converter boxes. Note, they were screamers and we spent lots of time trying to quiet them down, (sanding all painted mating surfaces, adding FB's, etc.) Not fun when you have to do real work.

Thanks folks, as always I appreciate your thoughts and ideas. Lots of things to think about and other than the copper to optical converter which I’m out of time and money for I may be trying all of them. Thank you all for the time to respond. Gary

Gary, The waveguide beyond cutoff attenuation will be very degraded by the cable passing through it. It will become a length of coaxial cable. The best thing I think would be bulkhead connectors that GND the entire perimeter of the cable shield to the chamber wall. The suggestion made

There are RJ45s with built in ferrite filters but that sounds like a poor band aid. I also think you will find building wave guides a tad more difficult than you anticipate. Fortunately I think there are several must better solutions. Ethernet over fiber has been around for a long time. It may

Gary, I think the waveguide will work well to keep emissions from entering through the aperature. I would add ferrites to the Ethernet cable at the shield room opening to strip off the common mode energy. Bill _ From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of McInturff

How about finding an ethernet common mode choke and putting it between two RJ connectors in a waveguide? Just my thought – they work when exiting products to keep the noise inside the Faraday cage. Should be simple enough to solder up then you just have to figure out how to mount it (or

Dumb question maybe I have to get a UTP Ethernet connection out of a semi-anechoic chamber. There no anti-chamber so any unfiltered cable routing opening is a major leak because of the opening and the induced noise on the cable itself. Since Ethernet signals don’t like to be filtered.

Hello Derek, There are multiple parts to CISPR 14. The first part, EN 55014-1, covers emissions. EN 55014-2 covers immunity. You should also be aware that there are some immunity tests in EN 60335. These include a surge test at a higher level than required for general immunity. However, the
