DP83TC811S-Q1: 100-Base-T1 using STP and transformers, cable length

Part Number: DP83TC811S-Q1

I have an industrial application where the maximum cable length is 40m.

The cable has Cat 5 twisted pairs enclosed within a shield in order to give immunity from the noisy power conductors that are in the same cable.

There will be differences in the ground potential between nodes.

Therefore I want to use a shielded twisted pair and transformer isolation.

Is the DP83TC811S-Q1 suitable for my application?

  • Hi Robert,

    We have tested well above 60m with unshielded twisted pair cable using cap isolation.
    Right now we do not have data on 811 with transformer isolation. I suspect similar if not better performance than cap isolation.
    If you only need to reach 40m, this device can meet your needs.
