Abstract
An isolation module for an RJ-45 modular jack provides isolation and noise control and reduction for the RJ-45 modular jack. The RJ-45 modular jack includes a front surface having an opening for receiving a corresponding modular plug. The RJ-45 modular jack further includes a plurality of electrical fingers arranged in a spring bias fashion within the opening in the front surface for making electrical contact with a modular plug. The RJ-45 modular jack includes a series of sockets or slots along the back surface of said modular jack such that the electrical fingers extend to the back side of the modular jack and terminate in a reverse bent fashion to form a socket or clip portion within a respective socket or slot. The isolation module interconnects with the back surface of the RJ-45 modular jack, the isolation module including a top portion, side walls and end walls [and an open bottom], a plurality of electrical contacts extending from the bottom portion of said side walls and extending below the bottom of the side walls of the isolation module, at least one toroid transformer contained within said isolation module, the toroid transformer having wires electrically connected to th…
