Applications for Ethernet Filters

A USB filter can help with many different problems not just to help you pass EMC tests. We explore some of the applications below.

  • Improve Stability of Home Networking

    In residential settings, EMC filters in routers and network switches help maintain stable internet connections by reducing interference from household electronics like microwaves, cordless phones, and smart home devices.

  • Minimise Interference in Office Environments

    In offices, with numerous electronic devices and computers, EMC filters help ensure reliable Ethernet connections by minimizing interference from office equipment such as printers, copiers, and fluorescent lighting.

  • Enhanced Performance of Smart Home Devices

    Many smart home hubs and devices (e.g., smart TVs, security cameras, smart speakers) use Ethernet connections. EMC filters enhance the performance of these devices by reducing noise from other electronics and improving data transmission quality.

  • Prevent Signal Drops on Streaming Devices

    For activities requiring high-speed and uninterrupted internet, like streaming 4K videos or online gaming, EMC filters can help maintain low latency and prevent signal drops due to electromagnetic interference from other home electronics.
