Ethernet Routing on non RJ-45 connector
Ethernet Routing on non RJ-45 connector
(OP)
The project that I am work on has about 600 different signals coming out of a backplane to the fornt panel and I do not have too much room on the panel to put the regular Ethernet connectors. The operating environment demands circular connector (I know RJ45 are available in circular shell but I can not go that route). So my question is , Is it OK to use regular circular mil PCB mount connector for Gigabit(diff pairs) and 10/100base application? If yes, what will be the diff pin staggering (location) consideration?
Thanks
Thanks

Each of the four pairs carries 250 Mbps, so maintaining good wiring practices (RF!) will allow a successful Gb connection.

Thanks for a professional response. I am glad there is less student stuff on this forum. Student type responses are big drag when sharing professional experience.

If you're designing such equipment yourself, then you certainly need to be concerned about the possibility of an impedance bump at the connector, but if you make reasonable efforts to minimize it, then there shouldn't be any problem.
We can discuss the details if you wish.
