Function

  • Compact high power Common-Mode Choke type 1/1 UNUN.
  • Variant of the Standard 1/1 BALUN.
  • To be placed in the coaxial transmission line of radio amateur HF antenna installations to eliminate common-mode (outer shield surface) currents caused by non-perfect transitions of a-symmetric to symmetric media. Recommended placement is at the bottom of the tower or at the building entrance.
  • Grounding terminal is provided, allowing for connection of one side of the isolator to a clean RF ground, thus forming an “L” configuration filter for sheath currents, and providing additional (secondary) lightning protection. This configuration results in higher TX common-mode current rejection ratios and higher RX noise rejection characteristics.

Mechanical Characteristics

  • Optimized 61 mm diameter toroidal ferrites
  • Heat resistant teflon coaxial cable with high breakdown voltage.
  • Professional 50 Ohms N-connector or SO239 connector. (IP66 after sealing with self- vulcanizing tape or equivalent).
  • Stainless steel M6 ground connection. Stainless steel type 316 More info.
  • Waterproof (IP64) and shock proof polycarbonate UV resistant enclosure. More info.
  • Weight: +/- 500 g.
