Re: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
Hi All, I could not resist adding my two cents worth. In the last several years I spent at Bell Labs in NJ (moved to CA 4 1/2 years ago), part of my funding came from a group that was responsible for UTP (Cat 5) and associated hardware. On immunity performance, we were not able to find a shielded system that would outperform UTP using the interface circuits I had design input on. (When I first proposed the circuitry, the group had an internal Bell Labs "balun" expert review it. He did not understand how it worked.) Emissions were lower compared to several shielded systems we measured. The data was published at EMC Roma about 1995. If I can dig it up, I will try to post it to my site later this month. Several formats of data were used including 100 Mb speeds. We even did a demonstration of a 600 Mb over UTP cable (section of the cable is within sight at this moment). The conducted emissions on telecom leads spec was just being written at that time. As I recall, we were pretty close to meeting it except the method in the proposed standard was not workable, so we used current probes and moving the cables to maximize current (just like RE testing). The net result is that UTP with the appropriate interface circuits (not expensive, either) performs quite well compared to STP systems. If anyone wants more into, email directly to me and I will try and hook them up with someone at Bell Labs in NJ who is currently on the project. It's been a while and I am not sure what the present status of that work is. BTW, I recall that starting with a VERY well balanced source/load, Cat5 cable inherently had about 12 dB better balance, and therefore performance, than Cat3 for the high frequency immunity/radiated measurements that I made. I did not get much into the signal transmission differences between Cat3 and Cat5 though. Doug Gary McInturff wrote: > > > Another little nagging problem exists.

RE: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
Hello Paolo, Group, If any PC source creates a common mode current flowing through your LAN card, then into the UTP cable then this current will show up as "conducted emission". Its not the data that radiates, it's noise from the PC board. As soon as the LAN cable gets long enough, it will radiate : that's the outside world in my humble opinion. Conducted emission does not have to stay conducted. This test is also to control low frequency ( < 30 Mhz) radiated emissions. STP will fix that, if the RJ connector permits the shield to connect VERY WELL to the LAN's card bracket AND the bracket is WELL inserted in WELL constructed PC enclosure. Three conditions, of which most often at least one fails to be fully compliant in many STP networks. The dataflow of a CAT5 UTP cable WILL NOT contribute to any interference. if it did so, the card would not work. Data will arrive too distorted at the other side. Not even if it is running close to other wiring. The twisting effect will compensate for every mutual coupling in neighboring cables. (unless a CM current exists !) How do you think ADSL modems work on ordinary (often unshielded) phone cables (not even CAT 5). Or just plain old ISDN data over miles of phone wire without radiating. UTP will often get interfered however due to CM capacitive 50/60 Hz coupling (E-field) This drives the receiver out of it's common mode range ( or if transformer coupled, the CMMRR of it is too bad, effectively transferring CM voltage into DM voltage). STP will help here too (but better/cheaper solutions exist : personal experience!). Modern 100 MHZ LAN data transfer over a 2 wire non coaxial cable is real high Tec. A friend of my replaced a 5 meter CAT5 cable by 1 meter of ordinary telephone cable (twisted) It did not work. To my opinion, STP is not necessary and is often erroneously prescribed: a waist of money.

RE: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
For what it's worth: We bought a printer server made in France, it requires STP (shielded) cable for CE compliance. We use it to test our 10/100 Ethernet ports. So at least one French/EU entity believes in STP cable. I also have a small 4 port 10/100 hub at home, it requires STP to pass. Uh, I haven't bought any STP cable yet. :) I do have a little interesting EMI experience: I'm an amateur radio operator and have HF (1.8 to 30 MHz) equipment in my van. I am picking up noise every ~100 kHz or so in several bands, up to 15 dB above the noise floor, from a few meters outside my house. The regular pulsing noise is present even if the 10/100 Ethernet is idle (all computers off), but the Toshiba cable modem is always on. Cable modems uplink on 5 to 50 MHz, right through prime ham radio real estate.

RE: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
This sort of question has already come up in CISPR SC G (the owner of CISPR 22). There is a CDV (Committee Draft for Vote) being prepared that, if adopted as a Final Draft International Standard (FDIS), will put a halt to the definition creep that has been happening with this issue. The text doesn't get rid of LANs as a telecom port, but it does prevent administrations from calling things like RS-232 (yes, Australia has tried to justify this as a telecom port), USB, 1393, etc telecom ports. Nothing happens fast in the IEC, so don't hold your breath waiting for this change to happen, but we are working on it. When the CDV comes out there will be a voting period on it and if it passes, it will then be re-issued as an FDIS for final vote. I wouldn't expect any final action for at least a year or more.

Up till now, I considered a port to be telecom only if it connects a client facility to a carrier's network (DSL, ISDN, T1 and so on). With repeaters every 5 meters, USB and 1394 can support a bus long enough to connect between adjacent buildings. So, I wonder if some fanatic will soon be promoting USB/1394 ports as telecom?

Re: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
All, As a not-quite-outside-observer (strictly EN 55011 here) of this thread, it's not fun seeing LAN ports classified as telecom; IMO that's overkill for the folks using EN 55022. Up till now, I considered a port to be telecom only if it connects a client facility to a carrier's network (DSL, ISDN, T1 and so on). With repeaters every 5 meters, USB and 1394 can support a bus long enough to connect between adjacent buildings. So, I wonder if some fanatic will soon be promoting USB/1394 ports as telecom? If Chris is right, and the EN 55022 version of the old telecom port conducted emission standard was intended to protect other telecom signals in a bundle, then I would think that this test is clearly redundant to the immunity tests (61000-4-6 and -4-3) that offer the needed protection from the other end.

RE: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
If LAN's cause interference, the mechanism would be radiated, not conducted. Testing may be moot on LAN's whose fundimental frequency lies between 150kHz and 100MHz; STP is the only way to 'pass'. Of course STP has safety implications due to earthing potentials.

RE: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
LAN ports Testing Conducted RF Emissions on LAN twisted-pair lines is almost contrary to the intent of EN 55022 as Gary pointed out. Conducted emissions is more appropriate for asynchronous analog lines. LAN transmissions are digital and synchronous (except maybe ATM); the receiver part of the interface circuitry locks onto the frequency of data, rejecting spurious frequencies. The signals are truely digital, not analog as in a modem. Arcnet, Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet TP cabling links two points (node, hub, switch, bridge) which digitally reconstitute the signal, eliminating spurious cable frequencies. Token-Ring is peer-peer, usually through a passive hub. Each node (peer) reconstitutes the signal as above. Ethernet, F-E and Token-Ring ANSI/IEEE or ISO/IEC physical layer requirements define interfaces, cable lengths/type(s) and timing. Coax cable rules for Arcnet, 10Base2 Ethernet) permit connection to multiple nodes but again, the digital nature of the signals and the well-defined connectivity rules prevent problems.

Re: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
Reference CISPR 22:1997, Clause 3.5 "telecommunication ports Ports which are intended to be connected to telecommunication networks (e.g. public switched telecommunication networks, integrated services digital networks), local area networks (e.g. Ethernet, Token Ring) and similar networks." This definition indicates that LAN boards such as Ethernet & Token Ring will be treated as telecommunication ports and will require conducted emissions to be performed as part of the emission testing. This definition is carried over to EN 55022 and is effective next year. Am I misinterpreting something here?

RE: Conducted Emissions on Telecom Ports
Define telecom port. A LAN port isn't neccessarily a LAN port. Ethernet ports do not connect directly to the Telecommunications network - a necessary condition before being a telecommunications port. LANS and MANS operate all of the time without any use of any telecommunications equipment. Generally, Ethernet or Fast Ethernet for short distances and Gig Ethernet for longer distances. IF -- the telecommunications lines are needed there is some sort of "bridge" that takes the ethernet and its digitized Voice over Internet Protocol (Voip) and does all of the phone stuff and makes the actual metallic connection. That "birdge" has the only telecommunication ports on it.
