Protecting the Integrity of Data & Telecom with Technically Superior HEMP & TEMPEST/SCIF Filters
For facility engineers overseeing data and telecom applications, ultra-reliable precautions are essential. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP)/high-altitude EMP (HEMP) event which causes a disruption to unprotected communication lines and internet connections could prove disastrous. In addition, information gained by the wrong people could mean a threat to a company’s competitive position and profits, the loss of personal data, or even a threat to the safety and interests of a nation.
Protect sensitive data and communications infrastructure from unplanned EMI and EMP events with TSS USA's proven filter solutions.
Low Voltage HEMP Filters That Meet or Exceed Relevant Standards
TSS USA Manufacturing’s low voltage HEMP filters provide a safe EMP mitigation solution that creates less heat and a smaller footprint than “stacked” low-voltage filter configurations for a much lower cost. They are suitable for control, data, and telephone line applications and meet or exceed all relevant performance criteria.
All control, data, and telephone line filters are rigorously tested and meet or exceed the relevant performance and/or safety criteria defined within these standards:
- MIL-STD-188-125-1A
- UL1283 (in process)
- MIL-STD-188-125-2
- MIL-F-15733
- MIL-STD-220C
- CISPR17:2011/BS EN 55017:2011
- EN60950/IEC60950/UL60950
In addition, all of TSS USA’s filters are made using predominately U.S.-sourced materials and components meet the FAR 52.225-1.
With their space-saving design and AC/DC voltage rating, this range of multi-line filters is suitable for a range of control and telecom applications including:
- Filtering control and low current power lines on shielded rooms and general installations
- Carrying digital data circuits and analogue telephone circuits into shielded rooms and communications cabins
- Acting as in-line filters for information security applications
Low-Voltage TEMPEST Filters for Control, Data, and Telephone Lines
Security is always important for facility engineers overseeing sensitive data and telecom applications, but in heavily regulated and sensitive military and national security, healthcare, finance, energy, transportation, communications, and industrial applications, security needs are far beyond important—they are critical. Information gained by the wrong people could mean a threat to a company’s competitive position and profits, the loss of personal data, or even a threat to the safety and interests of a nation.
TEMPEST filters can help eliminate unplanned emanation of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and, with it, sensitive, confidential, and classified information that might allow access to unauthorized persons.
TSS USA provides low and medium voltage TEMPEST filters to protect sensitive data and telecom applications from unplanned EMI and EMP events. Our TEMPEST line filters provide a 100 dB insertion loss across a broad spectrum of signals. Because decibels are a logarithmic unit, that’s 0.001% of the original signal, making interceptions next to impossible.
All control, data, and telephone line filters are rigorously tested and meet or exceed the relevant performance and/or safety criteria defined within these standards:
- MIL-F-15733
- MIL-STD-220C
The same factors that can allow the incursion of interference, such as antennas, wiring, enclosures, and even power and data cables, can also permit their transmission. While data can be radiated by equipment, the biggest concern is conducted emissions. Information can ride for long distances on existing wiring, like power wiring. That’s why we’ve developed our 3- and 4-line TEMPEST/SCIF filters for a range of control and telecom applications including:
- Filtering control and low current power lines on shielded rooms and general installations.
- Carrying digital data circuits and analogue telephone circuits into shielded rooms and communications cabins.
- Acting as in-line filters for information security applications.
