CDN-T4E for IEC 61000-4-6 conducted immunity testing on two balanced unscreened pairs

CDN for Two Unscreened Balanced Pairs

  • Two-pair telecom CDN, 150 kHz–230 MHz — injects common-mode RF disturbance per IEC 61000-4-6 into 4-wire (2-pair) unshielded balanced data cables.
  • RJ45 EUT and AE connectors — supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet, ISDN, and 4-wire telecom interfaces using only 2 of the 4 RJ45 pairs.
  • 2 A max current, 150 Ω common-mode impedance, 9.5 dB VDF — full IEC 61000-4-6 compliance with PoE-tolerant current rating.
  • 10/100BASE-T Ethernet equipment — legacy 10/100 Mbps Ethernet devices, fast-Ethernet network equipment, and 2-pair-only PoE devices requiring IEC 61000-6-1/-2 testing.
  • ISDN BRI and 4-wire telecom interfaces — basic-rate ISDN equipment, business telephone systems, and 4-wire E&M signaling interfaces.
  • Industrial 4-wire data buses — 4-wire RS-485 with separate transmit and receive pairs, 4-wire current loops, and proprietary 2-pair industrial communication systems.
  • Building automation and HVAC controllers — BACnet MS/TP, LonWorks, KNX, and other 2-pair building-automation networks using RJ45 connectors.
  • NIST-traceable individual calibration with three-year warranty — ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration optional; ADA-515-X 150 Ω / 50 Ω adapters available separately for IEC 61000-4-6 level setting; integrates with Com-Power Conducted Immunity Test Systems.

CDN-T4E Features

  • Telecom CDN for Ethernet up to 10/100 Mbps (4-wire), multi-pair communication cables — injects common-mode disturbance into balanced unscreened pairs per IEC 61000-4-6
  • 2 pairs (4 wires) configuration with RJ45 EUT and AE connectors for direct in-line cable insertion
  • Frequency range 150 kHz to 230 MHz covering the full IEC 61000-4-6 conducted-immunity band
  • 2 A maximum continuous current per pair for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and bus-powered telecom devices
  • 150 Ω common-mode impedance per IEC 61000-4-6 with 9.5 dB voltage division factor for repeatable test-level setting
  • 50 Ω BNC (female) RF injection port — direct mate with immunity-test amplifier through standard 50 Ω coax
  • 40 Vrms maximum RF input — supports test levels of 1, 3, and 10 Vrms per IEC 61000-4-6
  • Pair-count specific design — CDN matched to 4 wires cable per IEC 61000-4-6 (using a CDN with mismatched conductor count produces incorrect injection levels)
  • High EUT/AE isolation protects auxiliary equipment from the injected RF disturbance during testing
  • Typical use: Industrial communication equipment, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
  • NIST-traceable individual calibration with ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration available on request
  • Compatible with ADA-515-X 150 Ω / 50 Ω calibration adapters for IEC 61000-4-6 level setting
  • Three-year warranty — covers manufacturing and workmanship defects
