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.

73, Jim K9YC
