Solar RFI/Noise Filter - 1/2" IDProduct DetailsMax cable size - in/mm: .5/12.7OD (A) - in/mm: 1.14/29ID (B) - in/mm: .514/13.1Length (C) - in/mm: 1.14/29Z (ohms per bead - single turn 200 KHz): 20Z (ohms per bead - single turn 500 KHz): 58Z (ohms per bead - single turn 1 MHz): 102Z (ohms per bead - single turn 2 MHz): 70Z (ohms per bead - single turn 5 MHz): 50Ferric snap on bead filter effective over frequency ranges specific to solar installations including PV arrays, inverters, optimizers, combiners and network related control devices.
Effectively suppresses Radio Frequency Interference under 300 MHz. Use for solar installations of AC, DC, data and Ethernet cables for reducing common mode currents creating interference in electronic devices.
THE RFI KIT FILTERS ONLY SUPPRESS COMMON MODE CURRENT (SIGNALS) THAT ARE COMMON TO ALL WIRES IN THE CABLE, AND DOES NOT EFFECT INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALS ON EACH WIRE. THE FILTERS HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE NORMAL SIGNALS CARRIED WITHIN THE CABLE.

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.
