PCB Layout Recommendations for 2X1 Stacked Gigabit RJ45 Connectors

1. For maximum EMI suppression (electromagnetic interference) place the decoupling capacitors adjacent to Vcc and 50Ω connections.
2. Connections to ground should be as short as possible.
3. Connections between the 10/100/1000 IC and the connector should be direct (ideally no change in direction) and of inimum length.
