DJM-APOE

POE

Active Power Over Ethernet EMI Filter

The ACTIV POE is the world's most advanced active Power over Ethernet EMI filter, delivering 100dB shielding effectiveness from 10kHz to 40GHz for Ethernet connections from 10Mbps to 10Gbps. Proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology faithfully reproduces Ethernet signals while suppressing both radiated and conducted emissions with no signal leakage on either side of the enclosure wall. The filter simultaneously generates and filters up to 60W of 802.3bt PoE power through a single shield penetration — eliminating the need for a separate power penetration, separate PoE injector, or separate power supply inside the shielded enclosure. Made in the USA.

Data and Power. One Penetration.

The ACTIV POE employs proprietary DSP technology to actively reconstruct Ethernet signals without interference while simultaneously providing Power over Ethernet on the same CAT cable. Unlike passive RJ-45 EMI filters that degrade signal integrity at high data rates, the DSP engine operates at line rate — faithfully reproducing every packet while eliminating both radiated and conducted EMI. No signal leakage. No latency. No impact on network performance or PoE detection.

The ACTIV POE supports 802.3bt Type 3 PoE up to 60W through a single shield wall penetration. This eliminates the separate penetration for a power filter, separate PoE injector, and separate AC power supply that would otherwise be required for powered devices inside a shielded enclosure. Security cameras, access control readers, wireless access points, and networked sensors can all be powered and connected through a single DJM filter. The Universal Mounting System accommodates wall thicknesses from 1/8 inch to over 11 inches with standard penetrations of 1″, 3″, 9″, and 12″. Custom lengths available for any wall thickness.

Proprietary DSP Technology
Actively reconstructs Ethernet signals at line rate without conducted or radiated EMI. No latency, no signal distortion, and invisible to network negotiation and PoE detection at any supported data rate from 10Mbps to 10Gbps.
Power Over Ethernet Injector
Generates and filters 802.3bt Type 3 PoE power simultaneously with filtered data. Up to 60W, 600mA per pair at 54VDC. Six power class levels. Single penetration for both data and powered devices inside the enclosure.
Military-Grade Construction
Machined from solid aluminum with electroless plated nickel finish. ESD and transient voltage suppressors, gas discharge tubes, and current limiters on all signal lines. Built for harsh environments and long service life.
Universal Mounting System
Mounts to any RF shielded enclosure or shielded room from any manufacturer. Standard penetration lengths of 1″, 3″, 9″, and 12″ accommodate wall thicknesses from 1/8 inch to over 11 inches. Custom lengths available for any wall thickness.

Filter Performance
Shielding Effectiveness>100dB from 10kHz to 40GHz (typical)
Tested without cables attached, per IEEE 299-2006 methodology adapted for filter characterization.
“Installed SE”>100dB from 100kHz to 40GHz (typical)
Calculated estimate assuming S/FTP CAT6 or CAT6A cabling with properly bonded 360-degree shield terminations, combining filter insertion loss, cable shielding, and re-radiation losses. Actual performance varies with cable, terminations, and installation. Cable-independent above 250kHz where filter Insertion Loss alone exceeds 100dB.
Insertion Loss>100dB from 250kHz to 40GHz (typical)
Insertion Loss performance measured using a method based on MIL-STD-220B.
Radiated and Conducted EmissionsExceeds MIL-STD-461 CE102
Exceeds MIL-STD-461 RE102
Exceeds FCC Part 15 A, B
Exceeds EN 55032 Class A, B
ACTIV™ EMI filters are active filters and produce a limited amount of radiated emissions inside the shielded enclosure. Please contact DJM Electronics for information regarding your particular application.
