49 RF Chokes & Filters ISO-PLUS Ethernet RF Filter Give yourself another tool to help you pull out those weak signals and operate more ef ectively. DX Engineering has designed a simple way to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce common-mode RF interference (RFI) to and from Ethernet cables used between your personal computers, printers, routers, cable modems, transceivers and other devices. This interference is a common problem on Gigabit Ethernet Cat5e and Cat6 cables used for network LAN connections. The patent pending ISO-PLUS is an inline Ethernet filter that joins two RJ-45 connectors together to fight common-mode RFI and EMI noise interference for radio frequencies from well below 1 MHz to over 100 MHz. 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 that is 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 caused by power supplies, wall power adapters, touch lamps, appliances, and just about anything else near RJ-45 cables. The RF filters do not af ect Ethernet data signal levels 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 sets of two or ten filters. The ISO-PLUS units do NOT pass DC voltages and do not support PoE (Power over Ethernet).

Here's the right solution to make sure your balun is ready to face Mother Nature—the Wire Antenna Balun Mounting Bracket Kit. To ensure proper balun operation, DX Engineering created this mounting kit designed specifically for single-band wire antenna setups. At the heart of each kit is a nearly indestructible mounting bracket made from a UV-resistant poly-resin compound. You’ll also get a pair of DX Engineering end insulators, along with all the stainless hardware required for installation. Its unique design provides minimum capacitive coupling between the antenna wire and the field surrounding the balun core. The DXE-WA-BMB is compatible with all Maxi-Core® 20 baluns and legacy Comtek baluns.

CGA-11365-49 49:1 UNUN ...........................................................................$372.99 USB Isolator Surge Protection Device DX Engineering's USB Isolator (DXE-ISO-USB) is an inline solid-state device that provides surge protection between two USB 2.0 devices, typically a transceiver and a computer. It protects a transceiver from a voltage surge coming from the computer, and vice versa, protects a computer from a surge from a transceiver. A passive device that requires no power, the USB Isolator has two ports, one USB A and one USB B. It is bi-directional, so it can be installed in either direction. The supplied 19.7" USB A to USB B standard patch cable can be reversed and used for either type of equipment connection with the opposite connector to the mating port on the ISO-USB. A user-supplied cable must have the opposite mating connector for the ISO-USB, and its other end must have the USB connector type that provides connection to the second piece of equipment or computer. The device's maximum USB 2.0 speed is 480 Mbps. Backwards compatible with USB 1.0/1.1/12 or 480 Mbps. This supports RS-232 COM port data speeds faster than the 115,200 bps baud rate selection found in most USB capable equipment. The device does not support USB C GB/s data speeds and does not pass suf icient DC current for charging or powering a device. Enter "ISO-USB" at DXEngineering.com for more details.
