5000 Watt PEP Rated 4:1 CUBE Baluns™
Th CB-4-5000 balun feature dual core ferrites configured as a current balun with a weather resistant enclosure box. Input is via SO-239 coax connector and output can be top studs or side eye hooks (2) and top eye hook used as a halyard hoist for supporting your wire antenna. Rated 5000 Watts PEP Watts from 1.8-31 MHz. Enclosure is 4″ x 4″ x 4″. Multi-core technology is excellent for high duty cycle modes like RTTY, Digital, AM, etc at 5KW PEP.
It is recommended that a feed line choke to isolate the coax feed line from the antenna. A coax noise filter is also recommended.

We specify impedance ratios as an output to input ratio where the output (or load) is given first and the input is given second (e.g. 100:50 (2:1) would mean a 100 ohm output and a 50 ohm input; a 25:50 (1:2) would mean a 25 ohm load and a 50 ohm input). Most all products use a 50 ohm input unless otherwise specified.
We have products that are available as kits for the do-it-yourself (DIY) person or fully assembled and tested units for the “Plug & Play” crowd.
Our impedance transformers are available using two different topologies: Binocular cores or toroid cores with multiple turns for increased effectiveness and wide band frequency transformations. We utilize single and multiple core transformers using high order windings when needed to extend product performance.
We rate the power ratings as watts PEP (Peak Envelop Power) with standard duty cycles for various modes. To determine the PEP rating required for your needs, see: Choke & Transformer Power Ratings
