Jorge,

Somehow you do not understand. You must wide 5-7 turns through the ferrite part. See photos of the coax chokes in the RFI tutorial. That requires a much larger part. For smaller cables, 0431173551 and 0431176451 are a good choice. For larger cables, use 0431177081, or a stack of 2631803802 toroids.

Thanks Jim!

So finally I will use LMR-240-UF

Will order round cable snap-its

Seems that part number 0431164281 will be loose on the coaxial and will not
be held near the connector

Anyone tried part number 0431173951 with LMR-240-UF?  Will close on this
cable? Will be very bad if I buy a lot of them and then I see that don´t
close.

Thanks,

What I understand is that the # 31 is good for frequencies below 5
MHz, but my question is what to put in internet modem cables,
transformer notebook, cable RS232 as don´t know where frequencies they
are.

We put chokes on these cables so that they will not radiate trash on our ham
bands, so it is OUR frequencies that determine the chokes. For example, if
we want to kill RF noise on 40 and 20M, we wind the chokes for those
frequencies.
