Sheath current filter

This is designed to prevent interference on coaxial connections caused by electrical ground and earth loops. This coaxial interference filter reduces unwanted disturbances such as humming and interference in television and radio signals. The filter provides galvanic isolation between the antenna installation and connected equipment. This prevents earth loops that can occur between, for example, a television, amplifier or cable network. The product features a coaxial male connector on one side and a coaxial female connector on the other side. This allows the filter to be easily placed between a coaxial cable and an antenna connection. With a frequency range of 5 – 1000 MHz, this is suitable for antenna installations, cable television and DVB-T systems. This allows television and radio signals to be passed through without loss of quality while filtering out interference. The filter also prevents the spread of high-frequency common-mode currents over coaxial cables. This effectively reduces disturbing hum caused by earth potential differences.

Galvanic isolation Galvanic isolation means that two electrical circuits are isolated from each other so that no direct electrical connection exists. Coax Coax (coaxial) is a cable type used for transmitting television, radio and data signals. Common-mode current Common-mode current is an unwanted electrical current that can flow over the outside of a coaxial cable and cause interference. Frequency range The frequency range indicates which signal frequencies can be passed through a device. DVB-T DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial) is a digital standard for television broadcasts via an antenna. Ask a product question
