Obviously, there's no isolation. The PC ground connection hoses your phone line.
That "barrel" most likely contains a transformer.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Which reminds me. Does anyone have specifications on the transformer...
RS 273-1374 ??
600-600 doesn't tell you much. It would be nice to know primary/secondary inductance, and also desirable to know leakage inductance.
Thanks!

If you are into making things yourself, here is the schematic and (very short) bill of materials:

Oh come on! Some of us like to do special twists and turns to improve usable bandwidth. I can guess at it, but it's easier when I have facts.

A quick check on the RS site for those part numbers jumps to manuals, but shows nada :-(

Oh come on. This 600-600 stuff is STANDARD telephony isolation transformer. It's got 1:1 ratio, and you don't need to know much about its inductance, just put it accross the line, with a 200nF 400V capacitor to filter out the DC part of the telephone signal. These transformers are readily available, in very small packages, easy to use.
The US equivalent has nothing. Did you forget I was on the west side of the pond ?:-)

Well, I am on the west coast of Australia and I had no difficulty in locating the product. You obviously know that RS Components is based in the UK, and because the US representative of RS may not stock all of the parent company's catalogued products, they can nevertheless get them in from the UK. If you don't see it on the US website then look at the parent company's website.
The same thing happens on the RS website in Australia so when I want an item not shown in the Aus catalogue, but I know it is in the UK catalog, I ask them to get it in from the UK. After all, most of the items in any country's catalog are shipped from the parent company, so its not as if a special shipment has to be made - it just comes in with the next order. If I had wanted this particular transformer myself I could have obtained it from the local RS Components branch since it is also listed under the same part number in the Aus catalog.
You have to think laterally, and not all things are centred around the US....
