greetings, In a 1000BaseT Ethernet circuit, I would like to extend the distance between the magnetics and the RJ-45 connector to about 6 to 8 inches (including good SI practice : ref planes, controlled Z, matched lengths, etc.). Everything I read says that you can't do that, that it must be less than an inch, but I don't understand why. Can someone explain? thanks - Jim Peterson ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
