Choosing the Right TEMPEST Filter for Your Needs

Comments Off on Choosing the Right TEMPEST Filter for Your Needs

Data thieves can access compromised information from virtually any point along a transmission pathway. Most electronics and electrical assemblies “leak” electromagnetic interference (EMI) that contains sensitive information, not just noise. This sensitive information is often referred to as “red” data by tech professionals. Skilled electronics experts can pick up this “red” data from most telephone […]

Comments Off on Types of EMI Filters

Click to Expand EMI filters prevent the disruption of the proper performance of electronic circuits caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI). Additionally, filters provide protection against your system causing feedback on power lines and signal lines that may render your product non-compliant to MIL-STD-461 and DO-160 requirements. The right EMI filter depends on your specific design […]

Your Guide to Choosing the Right Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

Comments Off on Your Guide to Choosing the Right Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

Ranging in size and complexity, power distribution units (PDUs) give data center managers more control over electrical power. Some PDUs are simply power strips, while others are complex with surge protectors. Choosing the right PDUs for your data center’s immediate power management needs and anticipated future demand can be a challenge. Facility managers must carefully […]

Why Are EMI Filters Important?

Comments Off on Why Are EMI Filters Important?

EMI, or electromagnetic interference, is any electrical or magnetic force that impedes signal flow. This interference can degrade the quality of communications transmissions, hinder the flow of electricity, and even damage the affected equipment. Both narrowband interference, which is caused by human activity, and broadband emissions, which can be either human or naturally caused, are […]

EMI vs. EMC: What’s the Difference?

Comments Off on EMI vs. EMC: What’s the Difference?

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are both important considerations when working with electronic components. EMI is caused by electromagnetic emissions that can disrupt the function of electronic devices and radio frequency (RF) systems. These devices and systems must be properly shielded from electromagnetic radiation for them to work well. EMC measures how well […]
