Introduction
In modern networking and communication systems, RJ45 with Transformers has become the standard interface for high-performance Ethernet applications. By integrating magnetics directly into the RJ45 connector, this modular solution provides galvanic isolation, impedance matching, EMI suppression, and PoE functionality. It is widely used in switches, routers, industrial Ethernet, and smart devices, making it an essential component in the B2B electronics market.
