Abstract A power supply cord having a noise filter is used for connecting an electronic apparatus to a power source, the noise filter being mounted on the cord within 30 cm from the end thereof connected to the electronic apparatus of the noise generating source. Such a power supply cord is used even with an electronic apparatus that does not have a noise filter so that a countermeasure for noise is easily provided without the especially troublesome application of wiring within a shielding case for the electronic apparatus. Since the noise filter is positioned within 30 cm from the end of the power supply cord to be connected to the noise generating source, the power supply cord does not act as a radiation antenna for the noise band from the noise generating source so that the power supply cord eliminates noise from both ends effectively and has a superior filter characteristic.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
A power supply cord for connecting a noise generating source having an outer shielding case to a power source, said power supply cord having a connector at one end thereof operatively electrically connectable to the noise generating source, a plug at the other end thereof operatively electrically connectable to the power source, and a noise filter operatively electrically connected thereto at a predetermined distance from said one end thereof at which the supply power cord does not act as a radiation antenna for the noise generated by the noise generating source, said connector comprising an input terminal, an output terminal and a ground terminal, said plug comprising an input terminal, an output terminal and a ground terminal, and said noise filter comprising a shielding casing having means for facilitating a fixed mounting thereof to the outer periphery of the outer shielding case of the noise generating source, and a filter circuit within said shielding casing and operatively electrically connected to said input and said output terminals of said plug and said connector.
