FSB31-1, ID=1", RFI Range 1-300 MHz, Bulk Pack of 10Product DetailsMPN: FSB31-1Initial Permeability (@ 10KHz): 1500Material: MnZnMax cable size - in/mm: 1.0/25.4OD (A) - in/mm: 2.22/56.4ID (B) - in/mm: 1.02/25.9Length (C) - in/mm: 1.69/41.9Z (ohms per bead - single turn 1 MHz): 45Z (ohms per bead - single turn 5 MHz): 90Z (ohms per bead - single turn 10 MHz): 125Z (ohms per bead - single turn 25 MHz): 218Z (ohms per bead - single turn 100 MHz): 375Z ohms (per bead - single turn 250 MHz): 340Case/Box lot size: 36Also known as Big Clamp On. Very useful for AC/DC power, coax cable, etc. Use multiple turns for best results or multiple chokes in series (recommended for large amperage power cables). Always put +/- dc cables through the same ferrite filter so their fields cancel and the ferrite suppresses the common mode current on each cable.. Bulk pack of 10

1:1 feed line Chokes (also known as feed line current chokes, common mode chokes, line isolators, current mode chokes, and 1:1 baluns/ununs) are available in kit form or assembled form in a weatherproof Current Unun and Balun Enclosure which we call a CUBE™. All 1:1 chokes are ferrite based and are designed for 50 ohm coaxial cable input and 50 ohm output. 1:1 Ferrite toroidal or bead chokes have a higher choking impedance than our popular Sleeve Chokes and various models are available for specific frequency ranges and power levels.
1:1 Chokes are useful for choking common mode currents that may flow on the exterior of the coax cable shield while allowing the signals on the interior of the shield and the center conductor to flow unaffected and keeping the common mode current on the antenna. They isolate the coax shield and prevent it from becoming part of the antenna system.
1:1 Chokes are useful between balanced lines for center fed dipoles at their fundamental frequency (468/f (MHz), beam antennas with a 50 ohm balanced driven element, G5RV, loops, yagis, NVIS antennas, mobile installations, portable antennas and anywhere common mode current (or RFI) is a problem. They are also helpful between transmitter and linear amplifier or between linear amp and antenna tuner or as isolation chokes where higher choking impedance is needed (in the range of 2K-7K ohms).
1:1 Chokes are also very useful as feed line current chokes at the “radio end” of the antenna (we call them coax noise filters) where they choke/filter common mode current induced onto the coax shield from radiated waves (from your antenna, and other sources such as DSL routers, computer devices, plasma TVs, etc. originating in your house or your neighbor’s house). For RFI issues see RFI/EMI Solutions for general use or for specific radios and devices.
For best results we recommend a 1:1 choke at the “antenna end” of the coax and a coax noise filter at the “radio end” of the coax. (A side benefit is a reduction in noise level caused by common mode currents). 1:1 chokes are also available as Sleeve Chokes (Slip on or Snap on) for ease of installation and light weight on the antenna.
