Installation Guidelines

1. Identify the cable segment where EMI is most problematic
2. Thread the cable through the ferrite bead's center
3. Position the bead as close to the noise source as possible
4. For maximum effectiveness, create multiple turns through the bead when space permits
5. Secure the bead in place using cable ties if necessary

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many turns can I make with this ferrite bead?

A: The 2661102002 can accommodate up to 3 turns of standard 12 AWG cable while maintaining effectiveness.

Q: Is this ferrite suitable for power lines?

A: While primarily designed for signal lines, it can be used on low-current power lines (<3A). For higher currents, consult Fair-Rite's power ferrite series.

Q: Can I stack multiple beads for increased suppression?

A: Yes, stacking beads in series can provide additive impedance, though diminishing returns occur after 2-3 beads.
