Itā€™s pure Magic! They can achieve RFI/EMI filtering without any frequency dependent components.

Features

  • RFI/EMI Filter: Proprietary pure silver filter system ā€“ no inductors, chokes, capacitors or resistors used.

Snakier than a pit full of vipersā€¦

Someone has failed the test of their willā€¦

That is British Snake Oil - the best in the world! It is April Foolā€™s day, but who can tell with snake oil of this quality.

Considering that the Earth just got smacked with gobs of sun-stuff yesterday, a muon filter seems like a good thing to have. Sunscreen, too.

For a real scare, I suggest ā€œForgotten Civilizationā€ by Robert Schoch.

But thank God it has a ā€œBespoke enclosure made from non-magnetic ABS plasticā€. Sigh. I didnā€™t even know that magnetic plastic was a thing.

Normally on these products there is an extensive description of the way the product works by slowing down the rotation of the earth or aligning the flux in The Aether; here however, it doesnā€™t seem to explain what the filter is filtering.

If you donā€™t make any claims you canā€™t be done by the Advertising Standards Authority.

They donā€™t seem to make any claims that can be measured, other than ā€˜designed to operate at 100Mb/sā€™ which suggests it has half the pairs missing.

I tried, but they were exasperating to read. This, on the other hand, did make me laugh ā€¦

Looking at cons unfolding in bright daylight is a bit like not being able to take oneā€˜s eyes off a road accident. The most stunning fact remains how easy it is to separate humans from their income, which by the prices asked should not be stupid.

Lightbulb moment - it must use transformers. Not strictly an inductor, not a choke and not a capacitor or a resistor.

But hey, every ethernet interface uses transformers. Silver wound ethernet transformers? For that price, Iā€™d want silver plated hair from a unicornā€™s mane wrapped around fairy dust sprinkled cores, delivered by Gollum to tell me how ā€˜preciousā€™ it isā€¦
