I liked Good to Great by J Collins. It had an objective approach about it. I alsi think that the Hitchiker's Guide has a lot of good philosophy and some great humor.
A mated pin socket pair seems to be about 40 mm. 1/10 of a wavelength at 250 MHz in the Cat5e cable is about 76 mm. That is the reason that I think that the approach will work.
I will be using the PC pin approach at the source end so I will come onto the board via a standard RJ45, 100 Ohm diff...
I need to run a GigE channel through a military (38999) connector. Does anyone have any experience with using adjacent pins (#22) in a 38999 for high frequency (~250 MHz) signals.
The Cat5e impedance is 100 Ohms and my quick calc shows that the 38999 contact pair will be about 200 Ohms.However...

I am an Electrical Engineer with very little background in vibration. Are there any general guidelines for designing a circuit card for a level of vibration? Something like cards under this size can often sustain this level of vibration.
