This RFI kit was created to suppress RFI issues with your cable tv box interference. This kit was created out of necessity from a ham using high power antennas near the cable TV box. The use of the ferrite filters completely eliminated the RFI issue allowing the ham to enjoy the use of the cable TV system while using the ham radio system.
The ferrite filters are selected to suppress RFI from 1 to 300 MHz. The filters are easy to install, don’t require modification of the protected equipment and work in almost all cases. See product picture for suggested filter use.
What is included in the kit?
The RFI-CABLETV kit contains a snap on filter for the AC power cord, the HDMI/Video output cable and the and coax cable TV input cable.
You get three 1/2" ID snap on RFI filters and an installation manual.
You need 1 RFI-CABLETV RFI kit for each cable TV box afflicted with RFI.
For additional protection of the video monitor use the RFI-HDTV RFI kit which suppresses RFI coming into the AC power line into the HDTV.
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
