1/4″/6.4mm max Cable Size Chokes

For use with RG-58, RG-6, RG-59, LM-240 and similar size cables – all cable impedances, 160-6 meters. Choke diameter 0.6 inch. Requires 9-1/2 inches of cable for installation of SLO-1/4.Choose SLO-1/4 (5 beads) or for extended choking, choose SLO-1/4-10 (10 beads) or for super extended choking choose SLO-1/4-15 (15 beads).Use SLO-1/4 on RG-6 to stop RFI on cable/satellite systems.


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

Use on RG-6 coax to stop RFI on cable/satellite systems.

Select 10 bead version for 160 meter use, 15 bead version for even higher choking power.

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.

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).
