Product Details

MPN: CB-4-9-1500

Country/Region of Manufacture: USA

Type: Balanced output (BALUN)

Input ohms/Output ohms: 50:200, 50:450

Frequency Range < 2:1 SWR (MHz): 1.8-61 MHz

PEP Power Rating (watts): 1500

1500 Watt 4:1/6:1/9:1 CUBE™ Balun – Model CB-4-9-1500

Model CB-4-9-1500 is a 4:1 and a 9:1 balanced output (balun) housed in a Nema enclosure box (4″ x 4″ x 2″) with a top eyebolt halyard hoist, two side studs for 4:1 and two additional side studs for 9:1 outputs, each capable of input power levels up to 1.5 KW PEP when used with a matched load. The 4:1 ratio takes 50 ohms input and matches to 200 ohms output and the 9:1 ratio takes 50 ohm input and matches to 450 ohms output between 1-61 MHz under 2:1 SWR under matched load conditions.

Now you don’t need to buy two separate baluns or guess which balun to use - you get the 4:1 and the the 9:1 in a single package! – just buy the CB-4-9-1500 and pick the output ratio that best matches your antenna tuner! (Note: you can only use 1 set of outputs at a time)

Application note: If you use 1 of the 4:1 and 1 of the 9:1 terminals on opposite sides, then the output wlll be 300 ohms or a 6:1 balun!

When considering solutions for AM broadcast (550 Khz – 1.8 Mhz) you should consider Mix 77 ferrites available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Choose a size to give the maximum number of turns of the affected wire or cable.

AM broadcast transmits on a low frequency with large antennas. Consequently it takes a large antenna to receive the signals. Typical “antennas” are AC house wiring, phone lines, long satellite or cable TV cables, DSL/CAT5 lines running between rooms, etc. The device wires that connect to these “antennas” need to be choked with as many turns through the ferrite as possible. Some installation examples are shown below on this page.

For AC/ DC power cords and coax cables the F240-77 (2.4″ OD, 1.4″ ID) “Donut” toroid is the most popular. Also available are smaller toroid donuts and Mix 77 beads. Shown below is a graph with 8, 10, and 12 turns through the toroid – obviously more turns has higher choking impedance. Mix 77 toroid products are HERE and Mix 77 small beads (for small wires) are HERE

Shown below is a graph of frequency response verses choking magnitude for a F240-77 in the AM Broadcast band for a 12 turn coil around the toroid. (Same info as above but different frequency range).
