ISO-PLUS Ethernet RF Filter Now Available from DX Engineering

The ISO-PLUS Ethernet RF Filter from DX Engineering provides Amateur Radio operators with another tool to help pull out weak signals and operate more effectively by combating interference that can affect station performance.

Designed and manufactured by DX Engineering, the patent-pending Ethernet RF Filter suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces common-mode radio frequency interference (RFI) to and from Ethernet cables used between personal computers, printers, routers, multi-port switches, cable modems, transceivers and other devices. This interference is a typical problem on Ethernet Cat5e and Cat6 cables used for network LAN connections.

The inline ISO-PLUS Ethernet RF Filter joins two RJ-45 connectors together to fight common-mode RFI and EMI noise interference for radio frequencies from below 1 MHz to over 100 MHz, including 160 through 6 meter Amateur bands. Installed on either end of Ethernet cables, ISO-PLUS filters mitigate RFI caused to the Ethernet-connected device. At the same time, they reduce interference to radio receivers and other Ethernet devices caused by RFI or EMI generated by an Ethernet-connected device.

The ISO-PLUS provides common-mode attenuation resulting in reduced or eliminated EMI or RFI generated by power supplies, wall power adapters, touch lamps, appliances, and just about anything else near RJ-45 cables. Interference from these devices can creep into Ethernet cables, which then radiate RF signals that can be picked up by a radio receiver.

The filter supports 10/100 Mbps fast Ethernet and GbE Gigabit Ethernet with no effect on data signal or speed. Each ISO-PLUS comes with one shielded RJ-45 patch cable (about six inches). The filters work with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6a cables with RJ-45 connectors. Available in packs of two or ten.
