    Infrared radiation leakage through dielectrics in coaxial cabling can create unwanted quasiparticles in superconducting resonators if allowed to reach devices unattenuated. Modern experimental setups commonly incorporate epoxy-based filter blocks on readout and control lines in order to mitigate this effect; however, most of these multi-channel designs require specialized mounting hardware. This investigation details the design and construction of single-channel inline infrared filters, and finds that their installation in the readout system for an aluminum resonator increased its quality factor by an average of 12% across a range of operating temperatures and powers. The option to incorporate general-purpose inline filters instead of designing custom filter blocks and mounts should prove more convenient for many newer experiments.
