Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a circuit board; an integrated connector having a plurality of receptacles comprising at least a first receptacle and a second receptacle, the integrated connector being mounted to the circuit board and having a Faraday cage, the integrated connector comprising a first plurality of transformers and a second plurality of transformers, the first plurality of transformers being connected to the first receptacle and the Faraday cage to block ground currents corresponding to the first receptacle and the second plurality of transformers being connected to the second receptacle and the Faraday cage to block ground currents corresponding to the second receptacle, the plurality of receptacles, the first plurality of transformers, and the second plurality of transformers being surrounded by the Faraday cage; a choke structure external to the integrated connector and mounted to the circuit board; noise causing components mounted to the circuit board, the noise causing components being outside the integrated connector and outside the choke structure, the noise causing components having a ground in common with the Faraday cage; a first choke enclosed within the choke structure, the first choke being electrically connected to the first plurality of transformers and the first receptacle through the circuit board, the first choke having the capacity to filter noise on the first receptacle caused by the noise causing components; and a second choke enclosed within the choke structure, the second choke being electrically connected to the second plurality of transformers and the second receptacle through the circuit board, the second choke having the capacity to filter noise on the second receptacle caused by the noise causing components.
