Med N 2007704 Network Isolator MED MI 1005 MB content_copy

The MED MI 1005 MB network isolator from Med N is a passive medical network separator for wall mounting, specifically designed for use in medical facilities. It enables galvanic isolation of the network connection directly at the outlet socket, protecting medical devices and patients from dangerous leakage currents in the data network. The device is intended for fixed in-wall installation and is integrated into the wall, thus protecting it from mechanical impacts. The use of Harting PushPull technology ensures a robust and shock-resistant connection, rated up to IP68 protection class. The isolator behaves transparently in the data network, so no additional software or driver installation is required.

Applications
The MED MI 1005 MB is designed for use in medical facilities where electrical safety of patients and devices is of highest priority. It is typically used in hospitals, clinics, or other healthcare facilities where medical devices are connected via networks. The galvanic isolation protects against dangerous currents that could arise from voltage faults or wiring errors in the network. Installation is directly on the wall, ensuring isolation already at the first connection level.

Functions and Features in Detail
The isolator provides an insulation strength of 5 kV at 50/60 Hz for one minute and can withstand up to 10 kV DC for 10 seconds under stress conditions. These values ensure high safety during electrical disturbances. The connection is made via two RJ45 connectors, designated for the input and output of the network cable. The network specifications comply with IEEE 802.3, ensuring compatibility with standard network protocols such as 10/100/1000-BaseT. Twisted-pair technology ensures stable data transmission, and the auto-conf function enables automatic configuration without manual intervention.

Technology Explained Simply
Galvanic isolation is achieved through passive insulation, which requires no additional power supply. Data transmission is not impaired by the isolation, as attenuation is extremely low — the insertion loss is maximum 1.1 dB, and the return loss is at least 10 dB. These values ensure high signal quality and minimize distortions. The enclosure is made of UL94V-0 material, indicating a high flame-retardant class, and complies with environmental standards RoHS, REACH, and SvHC. The mean time between failures is 0.21 x 10^8 hours, equivalent to an availability of at least 10 years.

Compatibility and Accessories
The isolator is compatible with IEEE 802.3-compliant networks and supports data rates of 10/100/1000 MBit/s. The use of twisted-pair cables and the auto-conf function ensure universal adaptation to existing network infrastructures. The Harting PushPull connector ensures a secure and mechanically robust connection that remains stable even with frequent plugging and unplugging. Compliance with standards IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and UL 60601 ensures medical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done into the wall, with the isolator firmly installed in the in-wall cavity. The Harting PushPull technology enables easy and secure connection of the network cable. Installation requires no additional tools or software, as the device operates passively and behaves transparently in the network. The robust construction protects the device from accidental impacts, ensuring long service life and high reliability.

Operational Advantages
The MED MI 1005 MB provides high safety for patients and medical devices through galvanic isolation. Low attenuation and high signal quality ensure reliable data transmission. The long operational life and robust construction reduce maintenance and replacement needs. Compliance with medical standards IEC 60601-1 and UL 60601 ensures conformity with healthcare requirements. Transparent network operation enables easy integration into existing infrastructures without additional configuration.
