Coax Common Mode Noise Filter - 1500 Watts, 1.8-60 MHz, -38 dB Common Mode Noise SuppressionProduct DetailsMPN: CMNF-1500HFType: NEWCountry/Region of Manufacture: United StatesFilter Power Rating (PEP watts): 1500Choking Impedance (ohms): 1000-6500Common Mode Attenuation (db): 21-36 dbRFI Suppression Range (MHz): 1.8-60Insertion Loss (db): .05# Ferrite Filters: 5Enclosure Size (inches): 4" x 4" x 2"Typical Use:: Noise filter at radio end of coax between amplifier and antenna tunerCMNF-1500HF for transmitter/receiver coax lines up to 1500 watts PEP - 1.8-60 MHz, -38 dB Common Mode Suppression
For coax feed lines with receive and transmit signals, you will love the small size, wide frequency range and excellent attenuation of common mode noise interference
- Reduces broadband common mode receiver noise* picked up on the outside of the antenna coax feed line.
- Wide frequency range works on all brands of radios and coax fed antennas from 1.8-60 MHz
- Common mode noise rejection up to 20-38 DB (3-6 "S" units) depending on frequency
- Simple plug & play installation: plug a short jumper from the CMNF-1500HF to your amplifier output and plug the feed line (or a jumper to your antenna tuner) into the other SO-239 CMNF-1500HF input. Either connector can be input or output. Rated at 1500 watts PEP.
- will work with Bias-T antenna switches and will pass DC voltage from input to output with no attenuation
* not effective for noise from AC power lines or noise received directly by antenna
Installation Note: For best results, and to reduce co-interference between choked and unchoked coax feed lines with multiple antennas, ALL antenna feed lines entering the radio room need to have a separate feed line choke particularly if they are at a different frequency then HF, like VHF or UHF.
If you use a antenna switch for multiple antennas in the 1.8-61 MHz range, place the CMNF-1500HF in the "common" line of the antenna coax switch and the antenna tuner/amplifier.
For additional common mode noise reduction, consider the CMNF-500HF (500 watts PEP) placed between the receiver and the amplifier.
