Advantages of a Filtered Connector

• Low ground impedance
  Full ground plate and metallic shell provide minimal impedance and superior performance compared to on-board filter with high impedance
• Eliminate re-radiation
  Filtered connector at interface leaves no path for bypassing the filter
• Ground plane shielding
  Spectrum Control filtered connector ground planes shield the box even at the connector port
• Efficient space utilization
  Filters located in onnector provides additional space on PCB board
• Consistent performance
  Filtered connectors provide more consistent pin to pin performance
• Fewer components
  Filtered connectors reduce component count creating cost savings
• Reliability
  Spectrum Control tests 100% of filters, on-board filters are usually spot tested
