Product Details
MPN: CB-4-9-1500
Country/Region of Manufacture: USA
Type: Balanced output (BALUN)
Input ohms/Output ohms: 50:200, 50:450

PEP Power Rating (watts): 1500


1500 Watt 4:1/6:1/9:1 CUBE™ Balun – Model CB-4-9-1500

Model CB-4-9-1500 is a 4:1 and a 9:1 balanced output (balun) housed in a Nema enclosure box (4″ x 4″ x 2″) with a top eyebolt halyard hoist, two side studs for 4:1 and two additional side studs for 9:1 outputs, each capable of input power levels up to 1.5 KW PEP when used with a matched load. The 4:1 ratio takes 50 ohms input and matches to 200 ohms output and the 9:1 ratio takes 50 ohm input and matches to 450 ohms output between 1-61 MHz under 2:1 SWR under matched load conditions.

Now you don’t need to buy two separate baluns or guess which balun to use - you get the 4:1 and the the 9:1 in a single package! – just buy the CB-4-9-1500 and pick the output ratio that best matches your antenna tuner! (Note: you can only use 1 set of outputs at a time)

Application note: If you use 1 of the 4:1 and 1 of the 9:1 terminals on opposite sides, then the output wlll be 300 ohms or a 6:1 balun!

Wall Wart switching DC power supplies that plug into the AC power line plug and provide DC power to laptops, routers, battery chargers, cell phone chargers, etc are a known source of broadband RFI (a.k.a dirty electricity) that effects many electrical devices including computers, radio receivers, HDTV systems, etc.  In many cases this extra RFI noise effects computer I/O speeds since they have to error correct the information packets many more times due to the noise interference causing packet errors.  A ferrite ring can often increase data throughput by reducing the error correction to normal rates.

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.

RFI WW Installation 300x288 - Wall Wart RFI Noise Filter

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
