Build a multi-gigabit RJ45 candidate matrix around exact PHY modes, connector circuits and board configurations. A connector can enter the evaluation list without being approved for every speed shown in the matrix.
The CZT integrated magnetics family is a source of candidates and drawings. The matrix below is a qualification structure; it does not assert that a particular catalogue model supports 2.5G, 5G or 10G operation.
Define the required link modes
List the modes the product must support and how each is selected or negotiated. Include fallback behavior where relevant to the product. A test that establishes one negotiated link does not automatically cover other required modes.
Record the PHY model, firmware or configuration settings, PCB revision and link-partner identity. These details matter because the connector is being evaluated inside an active interface, not as an isolated speed label.

Screen the component circuit first
Compare the magnetic topology, ratio, center taps and electrical requirements with the PHY documentation. Reject or resolve circuit mismatches before spending time on extended link tests.
Review the measurement frequency range and conditions of any supplied component data. A report associated with one interface requirement should not be extended to another mode without an appropriate technical basis.
Construct a layered matrix
| Matrix layer | Required entries |
|---|---|
| Component | Exact ICM, internal circuit and drawing revision |
| Board | PHY, layout and configuration identity |
| Link mode | Each required speed and negotiation behavior |
| External path | Cable configuration and identified link partner |
| Environment | Project-defined temperature and loading cases |
| Observation | Link state, error information and recovery behavior |
Mark every cell as planned, completed, unresolved or not applicable with a reason. This is more informative than a single overall “passed” box that hides missing cases.

Use staged testing to find problems early
Begin with circuit and assembly verification. Next establish basic operation in the planned modes. Then extend the work to the project's environmental and interoperability conditions using an approved method.
If a mode fails, keep its result distinct from successful modes. A hypothetical candidate might establish a lower-speed link but not a required higher-speed link on the same board. That supports a limited observation, not a broad compatibility claim or a diagnosis of the cause.
Turn the matrix into a release boundary
Record which combinations were actually evaluated and which requirements remain open. Preserve raw observations and any relevant diagnostic logs rather than retaining only a summary.
A purchasing approval should identify the accepted operating scope and configuration. If the PHY, PCB routing, connector circuit or target modes change, the matrix shows exactly which parts of qualification must be revisited. It also prevents an early successful demonstration from becoming an unsupported product-wide speed promise.
