GPIO Labs 915 MHz Bandpass Filter (Red)

GPIO Labs | Part: UNKNOWN

Tiny bandpass filter with ~40MHz passband and 2 SMA connectors

Comments from the Austin Mesh Community

These are fine for low powered nodes, but we've burned multiple out trying to run them above 22dbm. Generally the WeHooper is a better option. I think the red and green are actually the same, but I don't remember where or how I got these, so I cannot verify.
