USB 3.1

Active USB 3.1 Gen 2 EMI Filter

The ACTIV USB 3.1 is the world's most advanced active USB EMI filter, delivering 100dB shielding effectiveness from 10kHz to 40GHz for USB connections from USB 1.1 Low Speed through USB 3.1 Gen 2 SuperSpeed+ at 10Gbps. Proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology faithfully reproduces USB signals while suppressing both radiated and conducted emissions with no signal leakage on either side of the enclosure wall. Unlike fiber-based USB isolators that generate their own radiated emissions inside the shielded enclosure, the ACTIV USB 3.1 is electromagnetically quiet on both sides of the wall. Supports USB Power Delivery 3.0 up to 60W through the same shield penetration. Made in the USA.

USB 3.1 Gen 2. SuperSpeed+.

The ACTIV USB 3.1 employs proprietary DSP technology to actively reconstruct USB signals without interference across all USB standards from USB 1.1 through USB 3.1 Generation 2. The DSP engine operates at line rate — faithfully reproducing signals from Low Speed (1.5 Mb/s) through SuperSpeed+ (10 Gb/s) while eliminating both radiated and conducted EMI. No signal leakage. No latency. Transparent to USB enumeration and invisible to connected devices.

The ACTIV USB 3.1 supports USB Power Delivery 3.0, passing filtered power profiles from 15W to 60W through the same single shield penetration — no separate power penetration required. ESD and transient voltage suppressors, inrush current limiters, and gas discharge tubes protect against unanticipated voltage and current surges. The DJM 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 USB signals at line rate without conducted or radiated EMI. Transparent to USB enumeration and invisible to connected devices across all speeds from USB 1.1 Low Speed through USB 3.1 Gen 2 SuperSpeed+ at 10Gbps.
USB Power Delivery 3.0

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 10kHz to 40GHz (typical, cable-independent)
The DSP signal reconstruction removes EMI at the filter boundary regardless of external cable type or shielding quality. “Installed SE” tracks filter SE across all cable configurations.
Insertion Loss>90dB from 1kHz 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.
