Description

CMC-154S-3K Common Mode Choke / Noise Suppressor / RF Isolator

This is a smaller (economy version) of the popular CMC-154-3K. This product has 3300-8,200 Ohms of CMI (Common Mode Impedance). Compared to a similar size to the old MFJ-915 beaded choke, but with more than ten times higher CMI values, the MFJ-915 has ~500-1000 Ohms of CMI 1-30MHz and much less at 54MHz.

  • Multi-Zs™ Technology
  • Perfect to cure RFI/EMI problems.
  • Great noise suppressor!
  • Common-mode attenuation is up to ~38dB max. (measured in 50 Ohms systems)
  • Zmag-Impedance Magnitude     
  • Rs-Series Choking Resistance      
  • Xs-Series Choking Reactance

It is a cure for noisy locations, instantly reducing the noise floor of your receiver by several S-units.  If you have unbalanced antennas, such as an OCF dipole or your antennas close to your home, adding one CMC154S-3K will greatly reduce RF Interference problems on your equipment and 120/220V wiring inside your home. We do not claim “one size fits all,” but actually, we design, measure, and make such products. Our CMC-154S-3K has huge Resistive values of common-mode choking Impedance from 1.8-54MHz. Click the chart on the side for actual measurement data.

Unlike other companies, we do not claim unrealistic impedance values or frequency coverage. Most importantly, the value of CMC-130S-3K Common Mode Choking Impedance and its Resistive (Rs) part is always higher than the Reactive part (Xs) over the working bandwidth. This parameter, Rs>Xs, ensures that our CMC will NOT increase common-mode currents as could occur with inferior coaxial cable chokes.

Only chokes with Resistive (Rs>Xs) CMI- Common Mode Impedance stops and dissipate unwanted RF or noise coming to your equipment for sure.

CMC-130S-3K Features:

  • SO-239 Connectors, which produce no impedance bump but maintain the continuity of the coaxial cable where the choke is inserted, help minimize RF leakage in multi/contest station setups.
  • Capable of more than the legal power (1500W) in the USA.  It is rated up to 3kW in the HF band.
  • The Enclosure is UV-stable and could be used outside.

*ICAS = Intermittent Commercial and Amateur Service

  1. Thomas Zuber –

  2. Herb Horn –

    Great product easy to use

  3. Donald –

    Provides the necessary Isolation For My EFHW40 on the MEF330 2K antenna

  4. Gavin –

    Works extremely well and super easy to install! Can be attached to anything using 1 1/4″ conduit straps. Dropped my average noise floor 2-3 S units!

  5. Geoffrey –

  6. Mike B. –

    Have not used it yet.

  7. Jeffrey –

    Great product. Great build quality. Made in the USA.

  8. Wayne Hayward –

    Cut my noise levels to S1 from S5

  9. JC McCormick –

    As always, excellent service and quality products that work exactly as designed. By far the best wire antenna products on the market.

  10. Dave W. –

    This CMC knocked down my noise level by a full S unit. I’m sold! Dave WA6DIL

  11. Volodymyr –

    I’ve purchased four of these CMC filters from this series over the past four years. They’re excellent quality and meet my expectations. Thanks. UZ1WW
