Epitaxial vs 1N4002 Diodes

Question

Someone knows if it is acceptable to use diodes of the type 1N4001 or 1N4002 instead of epitaxial diode to manage signal channels with levels and frequencies of the order of the Ethernet 10/100 ? I have never used the Epitaxial pin diodes and I have no idea.

Thanks in advance, any suggestion is welcome

balearicdynamics Ciao Enrico whats up? I have been working hard to have a new tidbit to show off at Cockpit-Fest at the end of the month. I Finally got the damn Pearl translated and updated in C. I spread it out over 6 modules... with the six header files a well. The update is to fix the Pearl global variables ie make them local and use C structures to hold the data. makes life better. and my buddy Paul to stop bitching about Pearl. No food to brag about but I just make some "Home Fries". Take some reds and nuke them for about 6min. cut them up to about 1"/30mmSQ Then toss them into a nice frying pan, add Green Peppers, Onions, Course Ground Black Pepper, and a *** Load of Garlic, and Chives optional . Can also do in oven. cook medium heat, the object is to brown the spuds., then of course some bacon and eggs..
