ENGLISH EMOSAFE EN-20G Product Datasheet December 2015 Gigabit Network Isolator in robust plastic housing 1 FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES Gigabit Ethernet Robust plastic housing for wall for wall mounting Optionally usable mounting brackets rd IEC 60601-1 compliant (3 Edition) UL Recognized Component RoHS compliant 4 kV AC dielectric strength 5.6 kV DC dielectric strength 100% inspection by our Quality Control 2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION EMOSAFE EN-20G Network Isolators disconnect every electrically conducting connection (specifically the data and shield conductors) between devices connected together via a copper-based Ethernet network. The Network Isolators prevent current flow resulting from differences in electrical potentials, and also protect connected devices and their users from stray external voltages and power surges which may be directly or inductively coupled onto the network lines by causes such as installation errors, lightning, switching operations, and electrostatic discharge. Built into a medical electrical (ME) device, the EMOSAFE EN-20G Network Isolator facilitates the safe Ethernet connection of this ME product within the patient environment. The EN-20G fulfils all the con- rd structional requirements of IEC 60601-1 (3 Edition), and forms two Means Of Patient Protection (2 MOPP) within the network interface, as well as practically eliminating the risk to patients and operators arising from electrical shocks created by stray voltages present on the network connection.

Included with the EN-20G are four assembly brackets which can be used to mount the Network Isolator to a wall or to a device panel. Alter- natively, the EN-20G housing can be simply glued to a flat surface with a suitable adhesive. The EN-20G is further distinguished by its gigabit Ethernet capability, and also by its robust construction. As a UL Recognized Component, the EN-20G Network Isolator is also suitable for inclusion in systems des- tined for export in the North American markets. EMOSAFE Network Isolators transmit high-frequency signals through the principle of electromagnetic in- duction. Because of this, they do not require their own power supplies. There are no software drivers to be installed. 3 APPLICATIONS 3.1 PATIENT PROTECTION Electrical separation of Ethernet interfaces of medical electrical (ME) devices and systems, where patients must be protected from dangerous leakage currents, in conformity with applicable standards. 3.2 EQUIPMENT PROTECTION Applications, in which valuable devices or those requiring special protection need to be protected against ripple, mains hum, and surge voltages from the network periphery. 3.3 MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY Electrical measuring and monitoring equipment, which needs to be protected against external voltages and interference voltages arising from the Ethernet periphery. 3.4 AUDIO Audio applications, in which the transmission of low frequency alternating current voltages (mains hum) over the network connection is to be reduced to an imperceptible level.
