Telecom Air Filters Built for Performance, Reliability & Compliance
AIR FILTRATION SOLUTIONS serve a fundamental role in upkeeping and optimizing telecommunication systems. These filters are non-negotiable in mission-critical environments, as they protect equipment and prevent costly downtime.
Universal Air Filter is a leading provider of telecommunication air filters that are NEBS-compliant. We engineer custom air filters for telecom hardware and OTHER APPLICATIONS, and our team can help you identify and implement the most OPTIMAL FILTERS for your telecommunication systems.
Why Telecom Applications Depend on Advanced Air Filtration
Meet NEBS Standards with Confidence
Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) compliance refers to a set of telecommunication safety, environmental, and performance standards intended to maximize network reliability. In telecommunication air filtration, NEBS refers to a filter’s efficacy in preventing airborne contaminants while also being flame retardant. NEBS compliance ensures that telecommunication equipment is reliable and safe in demanding, mission-critical environments.
UAF is the only NEBS-compliant air filter manufacturer, meaning you can depend on our custom-built filters to help optimize and safeguard your telecommunication network.
Avoid Downtime & Costly Failures
Reducing your telecommunication network’s downtime is crucial, as your clients depend on your network for uninterrupted connectivity. Many different factors can cause an expensive disruption, including inefficient equipment. You need optimal, NEBS-compliant filters to protect your air-cooled equipment. Without optimal filtration, your appliances can accumulate dust and particles, leading to inefficiencies, overheating, and component failures.
You can reduce downtime caused by degraded equipment by installing UAF’s reliable air filters. You should also regularly change out your filters to mitigate the risk of equipment failure and optimize efficiency.
Custom-Engineered Filters for Telecom Hardware
Switches, Routers & VoIP Systems
Forced air cooling is a key part of your telecom network, as it prevents your electronic equipment from overheating. Keeping your equipment at an ideal temperature is important for avoiding unexpected downtime. It also increases energy efficiency and prolongs your equipment’s lifespan. Optimal internal cooling requires top-tier air filtration. Otherwise, dust and other particles can reduce network performance and harm equipment.
UAF’s Quadrafoam® UL-94 fire-resistant air filters can protect your telecommunication equipment and prevent internal damage. These filters capture airborne dust and particles before they harm your appliances, and they comply with UL 94 HF-1 self-extinguishing flame safety standards. Equipping your appliances with the Quadrafoam® air filters and routinely switching these filters can lower your energy usage, leading to lower utility costs and carbon emissions.
Outdoor Equipment – Shelters, Huts & Hubs
Your telecommunication shelters, enclosures, huts, and hubs need dual-functioning filters that regulate airflow while providing EMI shielding. UAF features highly effective DUAL EMI AIR FILTERS to protect against outdoor hazards and block unwanted electrical signals. Our custom-tailored EMI filters can protect your enclosures and OEM INSTALLATIONS. UAF’s engineers can even retrofit our filters to accommodate your existing installations.
Enhanced IP Protection for Outdoor Telecommunications
PentaVent™ filters provide IP44/NEMA 3R protection in a slim half-inch profile, using hydrophobic mesh and Quadrafoam™ media to shield against dust and rain without bulky louvers. WR (Weather Resistant) filters deliver IP54-rated protection with MERV 15 efficiency, meeting Telcordia NEBS GR-487 standards while reducing power consumption up to 25%. OSP (Outside Plant) filters offer maximum IP65 protection with 99.0% efficiency at 0.3 microns, eliminating dust, wind-driven rain, and salt fog for direct air-cooling telecommunications systems
Key Telecom Filter Products & Technologies
Quadrafoam®
Polyurethane foam filters (Quadrafoam®) are ideal for the thermal management of indoor electronics. They are fire-resistant and can filter out large amounts of airborne dust within your telecommunication enclosures.
Outside Plant Filters
UAF’s custom Outside Plant Air Filters can protect your electronic enclosures from dust, water, wind, salt fog, humidity, and other outdoor hazards. These filters can protect your enclosures that use fresh air and direct air cooling systems.
Dual EMI Filters
Our new Dual EMI Honeycomb filter offers optimal protection against electromagnetic interference while filtering the air, making it an ideal solution for your electronics, telecom, and datacom.
Cablevent™
UAF’s CableVent™ Cable Management Solution is a customizable cable management solution that combines airflow control and dust protection for electronic enclosures. Made with UL-rated materials, it supports optimal cable routing in telecom, data center, military, and medical applications.
Support That Extends Your Engineering Team
Universal Air Filter is unmatched in providing industry-leading support for telecommunication companies. Our engineering team can design custom solutions for your equipment and enclosures to optimize efficiency and protect your physical assets. We also offer a wide range of filter types, including polyester filters, electrostatic air filters, metal mesh filters, and much more.

Reduce Costs & Carbon with Routine Filter Replacement
Regularly replacing your air filter is necessary for optimizing equipment performance. Over time, filters become dirty from collected dust and debris, reducing airflow. This reduced airflow will cause system operations to become less efficient and can even contribute to equipment failure and costly downtime. You can ensure your equipment runs at maximum efficiency and reduce energy consumption by regularly switching out your filters.
