Re: NEBS/ETSI Equivalents for PAC RIM

2002-09-06 Thread Berkley

Joe,

You'll want to look at ETS EN 300-386-2 for EMI/C and EN 300-019 for
Environmental.

Subject: NEBS/ETSI Equivalents for PAC RIM




 I'm looking to get some feedback regarding carrier requirements in
 the PAC RIM for products destined ONLY for the Central Office.  For those
 who have ventured into these regions with carrier class equipment, has
NEBS
 and ETSI carried enough weight or have some countries/carriers required
 additional testing.  I would also be interested in hearing whether Product
 Safety and/or EMC certifications are required or are declarations/reports
 sufficient when product is destined for the central office ONLY.  I'll
take
 whatever you have but my primary concern for now is:

 Japan
 China
 Australia/NZ
 Korea

 Any and all input, feedback, links, etc. would be greatly
 appreciated.

 Thx,


 Joe

Re: NEBS compliance for 100baseT / 1000base T

Muhammad,

You should also take a look at the Semtech Line.  They offer low-capacitance
integrated protection circuits designed specifically to protect 10/100/1000
Base Ethernet from GR1089 intrabuilding surge levels.

http://www.semtech.com/products/
go to Protection,
go to Telecom  Datacom,
go to 10/100/1000 ethernet Protection.

Good Luck,
George

 Hello Gurus,

 I am new to this list so pardon me if my questions sound naive.

 The question I had was, for nebs compliance we need to pass power
cross
 and lightening tests.  For boards with copper ports (100baseT and 100base
 T), is it possible to use rj45 connectors with integrated magnetics and
 still get pass these tests. Has anybody done that - if yes, is it possible
 to share the method.  I believe there are components (e.g. sedactors) one
 can use, but

 those are capacitve and might impact the signal integrity.  Also,
mostly
 that kind of stuff is used on the line side of the transformer.  I am just
a
 little bit hesistant to put in on the secondary side...

 Any input would be highly appreciated...

 Thanks

 Muhammad

Re: Some slightly disturbing interview news ...

2002-05-16 Thread Berkley

This is nothing new.. I found this to be typical interviewing technique at
several start-ups that I had interviewed with over the past 3-4 years. The
questioning would get extremely detailed, and in my opinion, way too focused
(for a first interview).  I learned to recognize some tell-tale signs.. for
instance, where my  most of my responses to specific questions got an
immediate reaction like  but what if you already tried that and it didn't
work? .. what else would you do... and the questioning would proceed way
down, into the micro-level on this one problem.

It was so blatant at one interview that, after a grueling 2 hours, I finally
stood up and said hire me and you'll find out, then walked out.  They
called me back for a second interview! ..  I kindly declined..

Be Good,
George

  Times are tough all round but there's no need to
  make things tougher.  Here in Silly Valley, things
  are tough and I have made some attempts to
  find a few people jobs in my spare time. These
  are people I know personally.  I'm sure I'm
  not alone in this venture.  I'm sure most if not
  everyone on this list would also help.
 
  One headhunter who called me wanted to know if
  I was just plain nuts or just some sort of a good guy
  handing a job offer off to someone I knew who was
  looking. I told him it was none of his business smirk,
  just make sure to give so-and-so a call. Which they do.
 
  Unfortunately, what I have personally experienced
  in the past (rarely), and what appears to be happening
  at least with a few of companies currently is the following ...
 
  EMC job opening is posted. Resumes are sent.
  A few candidates are selected for interviews.
  Most of the interview centers on questions about
  how to solve some problems that are being
  experienced by said company. Then there's a
  decision not to hire anyone. Purchase req for
  new hires is closed. All candidates are rejected.
 
  A few months later, same company goes through
  the whole thing again.  Only this time, there's a
  different set of questions to problems all being
  experienced by said company. Both sets of questions
  involving how-would-you-solve-this type of problems.
 
  I'm sure most of you know where I'm going with this.
  At the end of the day, the company or whoever in the
  company, has their solution or solutions.
 
  I'm not crying about this.  My questions are ...
  Comes with the turf?
  Are you surprised to hear such a thing?
  Not surprised?
  Has is happened to you?
  Heard that it does happen but rarely and with
  some other company somewhere else?
  Happens all the time?
  Never happens?
  You gotta be kidden?
  So that's what that was all about!  Thanks.
  Yea, but whaddaya gonna do about it?
  Well, if it does happen, so much the
  better I don't work there ...
  Etc ...

UL6500

1998-08-19 Thread berkley
 Hello All,

 I'm in the process of specifying an external Ac to Dc power Adaptor which 
 will be
 used for one of our products.  The transformer is to be mounted inside an abs
 plastic housing with an Ac supply cord and a Dc output cord. Both cords are
 permanently fixed.  Input voltage will be 120Vac and output will be 12Dc, 
 8Amps.
 Our product (Audio of sorts)can be used with a PC to provide audio or be used 
 as
 home theater audio equipment.  UL has identified UL 6500 as the approriate 
 std to
 evaluate our end product to.  UL has also indicated that off the shelf 
 transformers,
 usually evaluated to UL 1411 (for Xfmrs used in certian types of audio 
 products)
 won't meet the criteria for UL6500.  I've had no luck thus far in locating a 
 power
 adaptor manufacturer that evaluates to UL6500. Plenty have off the shelf 
 product
 evaluated UL1411. What I'm trying to do here is start off my product's UL 6500
 investigation with a Recognized Component power adaptor. This should make my
 product evaluation that much easier.  If any of you knows of a mfgr that has 
 been
 thruogh the UL6500 process, or if you have any suggestions as to what Power 
 Adaptor
 manufacturers have a good reputation in  working with you on this type of 
 issue,
 please contact me via email.  Additional comments regarding this issue also 
 welcome.

 we're all in school, our whole lives through


 Good Health  Good Fortune to YOU,
