So, what made the game great, and why does it still stand the test of time 45 years after its release? To answer those questions, we have to travel back in time to 1977, where 22-year-old Toru Iwatani began working for Namco (now Bandai Namco). Originally, Iwatani was interested in designing new pinball games. However, Namco scrapped that idea due to patent issues, but posed another: Why not create a video game based on the concept of pinball?

Designed to handle data flows of up to 1 Gb/s, Phoenix Contact's new RJ45 magnetic jacks are similar to traditional Ethernet ports. The difference is they integrate magnetic components, such as transformers, chokes, and common-mode filters, directly in the jack housing. According to Phoenix, the new RJ45 jacks (see figure) simplify the Ethernet design process, reduce PCB complexity, and minimize the risk of EMC.
