RE: Cross Talk
Hi Roger,
Regarding cross talk issue, to my opinion the situation is more complicated
since there is more than one port caring power
to the media and it is not clear to me what will be the impact of crosstalk
and other noise issues in the following cases:
1. If a single power supply output is connected to the center tap of the
data transformer (Phantom connection)
and obviously we have more than one Data+Power output (12 or 24 etc..)
than we can say that all center taps of all
data transformers are "shorted" together at high frequency signals.
(Each Receive-Transmitt center tap of the transformer is shorted by the
power supply output capacitor. All the Receive
transformer center taps are shorted together and the same applies for
all the transmit center taps.)
2. Same as 1, but all outputs has separate power supply output. In this
case there is some parasitic capacitance between each
DC output although they are isolated from each other.
3. Add to the above description the fact that from EMI reasons there is
about 1 to 10nF between power supply output to
power supply chassis ( = system gnd) thus the construction of the
connections may not be balanced.
Questions raised from the above cases are:
1. What will be the impact on the requirements for cross talks between one
port to other ports,
is there a problem here?
2. Is there any restrictions in the 802.3 standards (or any other standard)
for zero voltage isolation between each data path
to an other port data path?
(If there is, We will need isolated power supply for each port)
What is your opinion regarding the above issue?
