Or a mix with a similar spec by another mfr. As has been noted, Part 15 compliance essentially starts at 30 MHz. OTOH, a single turn on #43 (one pass through the core) is predominantly inductive below about 75 MHz.

As noted in my RFI tutorial, resistive choking Z is the most useful, because it cannot be resonated by the antenna behavior of the line it's choking. This was known at least as far back as the 1950s -- when researching for my AES paper on the topic, I found applications advice from that time frame making that clear -- but somehow that knowledge died with the retirement of the RFI practitioners of that era. By the time I found those references, I had already come to that conclusion on my own.
