B1601S
CND TEK
Needs validationhigh risk
A form-fit alternate, but lacks the target's PoE+ rating and has a commercial temperature range. Requires review.
Best Alternatives to B1608S
The CND TEK B1608S is a single-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet transformer module designed for PoE+ applications, supporting up to 720mA current. It operates over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
AI replacement insight
Electrical riskhigh
Mismatching PoE capability is a critical failure point.
Package risklow
Several candidates share the same SMD-16 package.
Sourcing riskmedium
The specific combination of PoE+ and temperature range limits direct substitutes.
Can it be replaced directly?
There are no confirmed direct, pin-to-pin replacements for the B1608S that match its PoE+ (720mA) capability and extended temperature range.
Best replacement path
No direct drop-in replacement found. Alternatives lack the target's PoE+ current rating and/or have a narrower operating temperature range.
Main risk
The primary risk is substituting a non-PoE or lower-rated part, which could lead to circuit failure under load in PoE applications.
