CHAPTER 6  
Cable Suppression Cores 
The Suppression Cores are used to reduce Radiated Emissions generated by I/O and 
power connections and to protect against electrical fast transient events such as ESD 
and Spikes. The use of the Suppression Cores is required for all I/O wires (per module) 
and all radio communication cables to comply with 89 / 336 EEC and FCC Part 15 
Directives. 
Assembly Instructions: 
1.  Twist all Input and Output wires together (per module) for easy insertion into one 
ferrite as shown in Figure  6-1. 
2.  Clamp one ferrite on all Input and Output wires (per module) as shown in Figure  
6-1. 
3.  Each ferrite is to be placed as close as possible to the mating connector plug. The 
ferrite should not exceed a distance of 10.0 cm from the module itself. 
4.  Clamp a ferrite on the CPU Port 2 communication cable as close to the radio as 
possible as shown in and Figure  6-2.  
5.  Clamp a ferrite on the CPU Port 3 communication cable as close to the CPU Port 3 
connector as possible as shown in Figure  6-1.
