The present invention generally relates to a network signal transmission match device, and more particularly to a network signal transmission match device that shows excellent IEEE and EMI properties, has no impedance matching problem, and can be efficiently and stably manufactured.
Due to diversity of manufacturing technology of different manufacturers, network connectors manufactured are often of difference in the final products thereof, but still in compliance with the standards and requirements of communication protocol issued by related associations and communities, such as IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
To improve performance and obtain enhanced effect, all manufacturers are devoted themselves to the research and improvement of network connector and makes trials on various combinations of different electronic components, while keeping stick to the communication protocols, in an attempt to manufacture products having excellent performance.
A known network connector adopts an arrangement of connecting a plurality of signal transformers in cascade to provide the desired conditions of operation. However, when sold to users or manufactured, the signal transformers each show individual electrical characteristics (due to being affected by various factors, including density of wire wrapping, varying thickness of wires, or more detailedly the content of copper in the wires), so that a manually conducted fine adjustment is necessary for the manufacture of the network connector. This leads to a loss of manufacturing time and may further cause issues of matching and electromagnetic interference (due to wire stretching being varying in the manufacture that affect the EMI characteristics thereof). An apparent influence may thus be imposed on the speed and quality of transmission of information in networks.
Thus, it is desired, for the inventor and the manufacturers of the business, to provide a solution that helps overcome the above discussed problems and shortcomings.
In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to a network signal transmission match device that shows excellent IEEE and EMI properties, has no impedance matching problem, and can be efficiently and stably manufactured.
The primary object of the present invention is to overcome the problem that the conventional signal transformers do not have consistent quality and specification by providing a substitute based on the circuit characteristics provided by serial connection of capacitor and inductor and, at the same time, to improve the effect of transmission and to eliminate instability of manual manufacture by applying surface mounting technology for manufacture of coupled capacitor and inductor. With such a technical solution, the problem of electromagnetic interference occurring in the conventional network connector can be overcome to thereby achieve the practical advantages of having excellent IEEE and EMI properties, being free of impedance matching problems, and having efficient and stable manufacturability.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a network signal transmission match device, which comprises at least a substrate, at least a signal transmission component set that is mounted to the substrate by means of surface mounting technology (SMT), and at least a signal transformer that is mounted to the substrate and is electrically connected to the signal transmission component set, wherein the signal transmission component set is formed of at least a capacitor and an inductor connected in series and the signal transformer comprises a plurality of magnetic coils that are connected in series with the inductor and the capacitor.
With such a structure, in manufacture, the capacitor and the inductor are mounted to the substrate by means of surface mounting technology (SMT) to form the signal transmission component set, which is then connected in series to the signal transformer, whereby in use, with the collaboration of the capacitor and the inductor, IEEE and EMI properties can be greatly improved and the manufacture can be simplified to also eliminate the impedance matching problems, so as to achieve the practical improvements of the present invention.
