Electronic – How critical is the magnetics circuit diagram in a magjack RJ45

magneticsrj45

I'm looking at an example circuit diagram from ST, and it use sa 48F-01GYDXNL part that I can't find anywhere. It's a gigabit ethernet jack with magnetics, and the datasheet shows a circuit looking like:

Magnetics diagram

Link to the datasheet. I'd like to use a different part, but what I want to know is do I have to have the exact same circuit inside the magnetics ? Is any old RJ45 magjack going to work ? Or is it somewhere between the two ?

The one I'd like to use is possible replacement magjack (datasheet here) which appears sufficiently different to cause me to worry they're not functionally the same.

You can use the 08621JX143-F just make sure the pins with TRD go toward the phy. The 08621JX143-F has one less center tap pin and some LED's. The frequency response might be a little different, but the overall functionality should comply with IEEE ethernet standards.
