1/2″/12.7mm max Cable Size Chokes

Model SLO-1/2 family of chokes are for use with ½” coax cable like RG-8, RG-213, 9913, LMR-400 and similar cables up to ½” diameter – works on all cable impedances (50, 62, 75, 90 ohms etc). 80-6 meters.Choose SLO-1/2 (5 beads) or for extended choking, choose SLO-1/2E (10 beads) or for super extended choking choose SLO-1/2SE (15 beads).

Each additional 5 beads is approximately 6 dB of common mode rejection (also 1 “S” unit of noise reduction).

Select chokes with minimum of 500 ohms at your frequency of interest for best results or upgrade to our CUBE(TM), or MC-1-3000 Maxi-Choker(TM) chokes up to 10,000 ohms choking.

Select 5 bead version for 80-2 meters use; 10 bead version for 160-6 meter use, 15 and 20 bead version for even higher choking power on 160-20 meter frequencies. Power rating is same as coax cable used power rating.

Snap On and Slip on Feed line chokes available in sizes to fix cables with outside diameters of 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1" - check website for other size options.

The 5 bead, 1/2" model was previously part # BA-8

Wanted to let you know that I was having a problem with RFI on 40m, but immediately after installing your Slip On Coax Feed Line Choke -1/2"/12.7mm cable, 1.8-300 MHz on a new RG-213 jumper between the IC-9100 and tuner, IT WENT COMPLETELY AWAY!


4:1 impedance transformers (Baluns and Unun configurations) are available in kit form or assembled form in a weatherproof  Current Unun and Balun Enclosure which we call CUBE Baluns™ and CUBE Ununs™. All 4:1 impedance transformers use ferrite cores and the kit forms can be configured as a balun with balanced output of 200 ohms or as ununs with one side grounded.

4:1 baluns are designed for 50 ohm unbalanced (coax) input to 200 ohm output (either balanced or with one side grounded).

4:1 Baluns are useful between balanced lines for center fed Zepps, Off-center fed (OCF) dipoles with coax, G5RV antennas, full wave loops, NVIS dipoles that are close to ground and have impedance levels near 200 ohms or high impedance feeds for log periodic beams.

4:1 ununs are useful between coax and vertical antennas, monopole verticals or long wires with load impedances near 200 ohms.
