For 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet port speed, Intel® recommends the use of a compatible connector.
Do not use an integrated RJ45 connector module with the center tap shorted together with
all 4 pairs at the center-tap transformer. This increases the common mode noise and may
create EMI. Kontron recommends adding a discrete common choke in series with each PHY
MDI differential line pairs If this type of integrated connector module (ICM) is chosen.
