Choice of BALUN (balanced outputs) or UNUN (unbalanced output and ground)

Model CB-2.25-1500, 3000, 5000 is a 2.25:1 (112:50 ohm) multi-core balun used to translate a 50 ohm input to 112 ohms at RF power levels up to 5000 watts PEP when used with a matched load such as single band delta loop, quad or loop skywire. This assembled balun features a multi-core configuration for increased power handling and flatter frequency response to over 30 MHz. With a matched 112 ohm load the SWR over the frequency range is very consistent from 3-30 MHz and SWR is less than 2:1 over the range allowing easy tuning by most radio internal antenna tuners or an external tuner.

50 ohm coax to 75 ohm balanced output baluns are useful for low (< 1 wavelength) dipoles exhibiting 75 ohm characteristic impedance or for matching to balanced ladder line whose endpoint impedance is near 75 ohms.

50 ohm coax to 75 ohm CATV coax connections are easily done with a 1.5:1 unun with SO-239 connectors on input and output.  Likewise 50 ohm coax to unbalanced verticals or loads near 75 ohms can be matched with a 1.5:1 unun.
