From time to time our Word of the Day feature will
focus on a unique product that benefits our fellow Ham Radio operators. Today,
we look at the ISO-PLUS Ethernet RF Filter from DX Engineering— a tool that
helps Amateur Radio operators pull out weak signals and operate more
effectively by combating interference that can affect station performance.
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.
Available in packs of 2 or 10, 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 both ends 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.
