All Snap On Split Beads
Often it is difficult to slip beads on a cable because of a plug or connector. Split beads solve this problem. They come in two halves that fit over the cable. A plastic snap cover holds the two halves together and holds the assembly on the cable.
For RFI use, mix 31 is effective from 1-300 MHz, mix 43 works from 25-300 MHz, Mix 61 is for 200-2000 MHz, and mix 75 favors .15-10 MHz. These frequencies are those of the interfering signal to be eliminated, not the operating frequencies of the equipment to be protected.
Not sure of what sizes you need or solving a RFI problem with devices using multiple size cables? Try the Ferrite Snap On Combo Pack which has sizes from 1/4″ to 3/4″ with either Mix 31 (1-300 MHz) or Mix 61 (200-2000 MHz) or Mix 75 (100 KHz – 10 MHz).

Generator RFI testimonial:
Bob Received your order in a timely fashion. Tried the generator kit on Sunday & it drops the noise from S9 to S5 and took out all the electrical noise. I may want some more toroids from you at some point for other interference problems I have here. Ken VE3KCY
