Use for 1/4″ Cable – RG-58, RG59, RG-6, LMR-240, etc

For 1/4” cables use five FSB31-1/4 split beads for 80-10 meters (3-30 mHz) or ten FSB31-1/4 split beads for 160-10 (1.8-30 MHz) meters or use 15 FSB31-1/4 for even higher choking for 1-10 MHz.

Typical Impedance per split bead: 10 MHz: 100 ohms, 25 MHz: 163 ohms, 100 MHz: 275 ohms, 250 MHz: 275 ohm

Select 10 bead version for 160 meter use. Minimum recommended total impedance is 500 ohms at frequency of interest.

The beads clamp to the cable and may be operated as is for indoor use. However, it is strongly suggested that they be covered to protect the plastic covers from weathering – use electrical tape for best results or heat shrink to ensure longer life. All kits come with instruction manual which covers assembly and application tips.

As you can see from the impedance vs frequency graph, you can very effectively increase the choking impedance by increasing the number of beads on the cable.

Snap On and Slip on Feed line chokes available in sizes to fix cables with outside diameters of 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1" - check website for other size options.
