Can ECMF4-40A100N10 be used for 2.5Gbit and 5Gbit Ethernet interface ?
Can ECMF4-40A100N10 be used for 2.5Gbit and 5Gbit Ethernet interface ?
2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, or even 10Gbps are achieved with 4 differential pairs, meaning that the data rate on each pair is divided by 4.
In addition, PAM modulation is used, which decreases the signal frequency. So, for sure, with 10GHz differential bandwidth, ECMF4-40A100N10 can be used on Ethernet 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps, and even on Ethernet 10Gbps.
When an Ethernet MagJack® is used, the AN4994: 10 gigabit Ethernet survives ITU-T K20 and Telcordia GR-1089-Core intra-building demonstrate that STMicroelectronics ESD protections survive telecom surges.
