Mobix Labs Inc. introduced a new family of filtered D-sub connectors designed to eliminate unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI) in defense, aerospace, medical, and commercial applications. These connectors feature robust construction and superior EMI filtering capabilities, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in the most demanding environments.

Mobix Labs’ filtered D-sub connectors provide a practical solution for integrating EMI suppression with data connectivity, making them essential in environments where signal integrity and interference reduction are paramount. By integrating filtering components directly into the connector, these products help maintain the integrity of transmitted signals and eliminate the need for separate filtering devices. This integration saves space and reduces costs, making these connectors more efficient.  The new filtered D-sub connectors come in various pin configurations, accommodating different data transmission needs, and maintain the standard D-sub interface for easy compatibility with existing systems.
