Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

The AI board sorting system works really well. However, in 2 cases now, it identified the yellow ethernet ports as transformers. The two boards are from routers, so have multiple ethernet ports. If the only the reason to downgrade the boards from high telecom to low telecom by AI, should I consider those 2 boards "high grade telecom"?

I could go with a whole post about intelligence vs comprehension vs contemplation etc.


I won’t. Looks like transformer blocs to me.
And there’s why a human will always be needed in the end.

if the yellow blocks are true ethernet port with gold plated connecters, are those 2 boards "high grade telecom"?

No, they’re high peripheral

Thanks for helping me ID them. Just a general follow up questions, are routers peripheral equipment or telecom equipment?

Basic home and business routers (small square boxes) tend to be high peripheral

Thanks again for the clarification. I got some older routers which are loaded with chips, the newer ones just like computers with fewer and tiny chips. :-(

Feel free to post a photo of the older ones. My response is only a general.

Here is a Siemens one.

Here is one from Sprint, but board for a signal booster, not router.
