Re: [motm] Cabinet shielding

2006-09-13 by Richard Brewster

The power input section of MOTM modules uses ferrite beads to filter out 
RFI at the power connector.  And since the patch cords are shielded, 
that eliminates another potential antenna.  I don't recall this being 
too much of a concern.  Never heard of anyone needing to shield a cabinet.
