1500 Watt Rated 1:1 CUBE™ Unun
Th CU-1-1500 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 1500 Watts PEP from 1.8-61 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.
Much more effective then our sleeve feed line chokes due to our exclusive Multimix(TM) multi-core topology using high permeability ferrite cores which provides a high choking impedance over a broad frequency range.
Typical common mode suppression is 20-38 dB (up to 6 "S" units) from 1.8-61 MHz reduces common mode current! For most effective results, use 1 choke at the antenna and another at the radio. Helps reduce noise floor too by choking off common mode neighborhood noise picked up on outside of coax braid.
Optionally available with both input and output on same side for certain installations and wall mounts available on each side for both models.
Choose SO-239 UHF or N connector input/output connectors
A simple ferrite ring filter on the DC power line can help suppress the RFI noise affecting the victim device or keep the DC power cord from acting as an antenna and radiating RFI into other victim devices. This kit is also useful on laptop computer supplies, routers, cable modems, wireless phone charges, etc.
Installation is quick and easy: Just wrap the DC power cord through the center of the ring filter as many times as you can and reinstall. For best results with long DC power lines, use one at the ring filter at the wall wart end (to prevent the wall wart power supply from using the DC line as an antenna) and another at the DC plug end (to prevent the electronics in the powered device from using the DC power cord as an antenna). Typical installation is shown below:
The filter suppresses RFI in from .1-100 MHz. Inside diameter is 3/4 inch/19 mm.
Since most households and office environments have multiple wall warts we offer the Wall Wart RFI Filter kit in bulk quantity packages.
Known RFI Generators include Roku/Sling-TV power adapter - Interference heard in the AM broadcast band and harmonics. Also many ethernet Cable/DSL modems, cell phone chargers, computer power adapters have the same issue: using the AC or DC side of the power supply as a radiating antenna. RFI solution is to use a linear power supply, change adapters or wall wart ferrite filters
