Ferrite Ring Combo Pack, FT240 - 1.4" ID, 10 Rings - Mix 31(4), 61(3), 75(3), RFI Range .15-2000 MHzProduct DetailsBrand: Palomar EngineersUPC: Does not applyMPN: FRCP-240-10Type: NEWCountry/Region of Manufacture: United StatesThe Ferrite Ring Combo Pack is a convenient solution for troubleshooting RFI/EMI from unknown frequencies or multiple frequencies that require multiple suppression mixes. Included in this combo pack are ten 2.4″ OD/1.4″ ID ring toroids as follows:
Mix 75 effective from .15-10 MHz including AM Broadcast band – quantity: 3
Mix 31 effective from 1-300 MHz for general purpose – quantity: 4
Mix 61 effective from 200-2000 MHz for cell phone, WIFI, HDTV, Cable TV interference – quantity: 3
Individually wrapped and labeled with effective RFI frequency range for easy identification
The ring toroids are useful for AC/DC common mode choking with multiple turns as shown below
AC Cable on F-240 Toroid – 7 turns
DC Cable on F240 – 4 turns
The ring toroids can also be used on coax or signal lines as shown below:
RG58 12 turns on FT240
Ethernet Cable on F-240 Toroid – 7 turns
For RFI/EMI wrap as many turns as possible (usually 6-12) for higher choking (under 30 MHz). For over 25-100 MHz, 1-3 turns om Mix 61 is usually sufficient. Chokes can also be cascaded in series to offer a broader frequency range.

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.
