CUBE 1:1 Feed Line Choke Balun, 1.5KW, 1.8-61 MHz Eyebolt Version - DipolesProduct DetailsBrand: Palomar EngineersEffective Frequency Range (MHz): 1-61 MHzPEP Power Rating (watts): 1500Common Mode Attenuation (db): up to -38 dBEstimated Insertion Loss (db): .10Input Connector Type: SO-239 femaleOutput Connector Connector Type: side eyebolts and top halyard hoistEnclosure Size (LxWxH inches): 4 x 4 x 21500 Watt PEP Rated 1:1 CUBE™ Balun for dipoles
* Help keep RF out of the shack.
* Provides maximum transfer of RF to the antenna.
* Suppress radiation from the feeder cable
* Makes the antenna radiation pattern predictable.
* Outperforms the competition by 24 dB common mode rejection! (see graphs)
* Reduces QRN and TVI to the neighbors.
The CB-1-1500 balun is useful as common mode feed line chokes or unbalanced coax to balanced antenna interface. SO-239 input to side terminal/eyebolt output. . Rated 1500 Watts PEP from 1-61 MHz. Common mode rejection up to -38dB over the frequency range. The CB-1-1500 is the balun version and the CU-1-1500 is the unun version (coax in and coax out).
Use as line isolator, antenna interface, or as a common mode choke to keep RF on the antenna and off the outside of the coax braid. Much more effective then our snap on ferrite beads as this balun which provides a higher choking impedance over a broad frequency range.
For most effective results, use another feed line choke (coax noise filter) at the radio. Helps reduce noise floor too by choking off common mode neighborhood noise picked up on outside of coax braid acting as secondary receive antenna

Christmas lights or yard lights with switching DC power supplies are often the RFI source and a clamp on ferrite bead on the AC AND the DC side feeding the lights is needed to help suppress the switching power supply RFI noise. Suitable snap on beads are FSB31-1/2 for the 1-250 MHz range.
We have also had reported wireless HDTV boxes, and FOSCAM and AMCREST security camera systems causing RFI to garage door remote openers. Use our Garage Door Opener RFI kit to suppress the interference to the opener (VICTIM) – you need one kit for each opener. Maximize the distance from the camera to the openers may also help. Additionally shield cable to the garage door sensors may be needed depending on severity of the camera RFI.
Obvious Tech Note: make sure your remote batteries have enough energy to activate the GDO or the signal they transmit may not be large enough to over ride the RFI signal, but a fresh battery may be able to overcome the weak RFI source and allow the GDO to operate correctly.
