>My question to you is, is there a j45 (or-whatever-they-are-called)-= connector with a optical isolator(/-coupler) in it? It really shouldn't= have to more than a 1 " cube. >OR a network-card, that has this built in (4kV isolation preffered). >OR is this a neat PIC-project to put in que ? (SEE it isn't off topic!!).= Opto for data, and a "high" frequency transformer for powering the= isolated side would be what is in that cube.... It wouldn't be easier to use a simple in-line transformer? Although there= are optocouplers that can be used. That ones in the Philips (magnavox?)
