Wire telecommunication equipment with protection against electromagnetic interference

Telecommunication equipment for providing an interface between a first line and a second line, each of the first and second line including at least two electrical conductors, the telecommunication equipment comprising:

• a first connector for connection to the first line;
• a second connector for connection to the second line;
• signal processing components;
• and
• a multilayer printed circuit which includes a plurality of layers, a first region which supports said signal processing components, a second region, spaced apart from the first region, which supports the first and second connectors, first electrical links electrically coupling the first connector to said signal processing components, second electrical links electrically coupling the second connector to said signal processing components, first metallizations electrically connected to the first connector and located within the second region and in at least one of said plurality of layers, and second metallizations electrically connected to the second connector and located within the second region and in at least one of said plurality of layers, the first metallizations and the second metallizations being spaced apart in opposing relationship to form capacitive coupling between the first and second connectors, whereby the first line is capacitively coupled to the second line and electromagnetic interference developed in one of the first and second lines is diverted to the other of the first and second lines and away from the signal processing components.
