RJ45s come in shielded, unshielded, and shielded with integral magnetics (and probably other flavors as well).
Has anybody got any suggestions / experience / whatever re the use of one or other of these parts in a product that will live in a plastic box, power by an external mains adapter / internal regulator. The intention is to use UTP cable. I've read Intel's appnotes regarding layout for PHY / Magnetics / RJ45. In a situation with no chassis to call chassis ground, I suspect the shield is irrelevant. However, I'm rather attracted to the 'integral magnetics' solution, and these all seem to have shields. Given that the planes are void under the connector I suppose that means this shield will just have to be 'not connected. Has anybody got a recommendation regarding voids under the 'integral magnetics' part?
