CUBE Feed Line Choke, 1:1, 5KW PEP, .2-5 MHz, AM Broadcast, 160 and 80 Meter Common Mode Noise Filter, 30 to 42dB Noise SuppressionProduct DetailsBrand: Palomar EngineersMPN: CU-1-5000LFEffective Frequency Range (MHz): .2-5 MHz (see CMRR graph)PEP Power Rating (watts): 5000Common Mode Attenuation (db): 30-42 dBEstimated Insertion Loss (db): .10 or lessInput Connector Type: SO-239 femaleOutput Connector Connector Type: 2 top studs, side eyebolts and halyard hoist or SO-239/NGround Connector (Y/N): noneEnclosure Size (LxWxH inches): 4 x 4 x 25000 Watt Rated 1:1 CUBE™ Choke - .2-5 MHz (effective to 100 KHz)
Th CU-1-5000LF unun is useful as common mode feed line chokes or coax to antenna interfaces. SO-239 output models can also be used with balanced antennas if a short coax cable “pigtail” is used on the output and connected to the antenna. Rated 5000 Watts PEP from .2-5 Mhz. 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.
These high powered chokes are more effective then our sleeve feed line chokes due to multi-turn ferrite bead topology using high permeability ferrite cores which provides a higher choking impedance over a broad frequency range. Typical common mode rejection (CMRR) is 30-42 over the frequency range (see graph) For most effective results, use 1 choke at the antenna feed point to keep transmit RF off the coax braidand another at the radio end of the coax. Helps reduce noise floor too by choking off common mode neighborhood noise picked up on outside of coax braid.
Available in 1.5K and 5K PEP models. Picture shows 1.5KW model, but 5KW model is same size and frequency specs but 5KW PEP.

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.
