Enclosure Size: 4" x 4" x 2"

Antenna Compatability: verticals, slopers, monopoles

Purpose. The CU-4-1500 is used as a 4:1 (200 ohm unbalanced load to 50 ohm unbalanced source) broadband transformer for 50 ohm coax cable rated at at 1500 PEP into 200 ohms unbalanced load from 1.8-61 MHz. Excellent for 31-33, 41 and 43 foot multi-band verticals and also slopers (51', 85' or 119" work great) made by S9, ZeroFive, MFJ and DX Engineering and Palomar Engineers vertical antennas

USE: The top connector is for the 200 ohm unbalanced output, and the side connector is for a ground rod, counterpoise or radial connection.The SO-239 input connector shield/ground is shared with the ground connector.

For best results use a feed line choke between the CU-4-1500 and the coax input to isolate the coax from becoming part of the antenna. Our Maxi-Choker (MC-1-3000) is an excellent companion for this unun.

This Unun is a very efficient match for many 43 and 31-33 foot multi-band verticals including the S9, ZeroFive, MFJ and DX Engineering vertical antennas.

The CU-4-1500 is also useful for end fed OCF antennas utilizing a 4:1 unun and a coax feed line choke to set the antenna length for the "short" side of the OCF.

CU-4-5000 is in a 4" x 4" x 2" NEMA enclosure and weighs 3 pounds and is specified for 1.8-31 MHz - rated at 5KW PEP

CU-4-5000HD is in a 4" x 4" x 4" NEMA enclosure, contains 50% more ferrite cores then the 5000 and weighs 4 pounds and is specified for 1.8-31 MHz - rated at 4KW continuous duty, 5K+ PEP. The HD version of this unun is CUSTOM MADE PER ORDER - PLEASE ALLOW 2 WEEKS FOR MANUFACTURING PRIOR TO SHIPMENT.

2:1 (100:50) Baluns are useful between 50 ohm coax and 100 ohm balanced lines for loops, cubical quads, log periodics and other antennas where the impedance at the end of the feedline is 100 ohms (1/2 wavelength feedline).
