If others don't try it does not bother me....its their loss. Wow 15
ferrites. I only have 7 I think. I'll have to try more.

Hi Theo,

Here’s a picture of the ‘charcoal pile’ of ferrites in my cMP setup.
Don’t know if you can count them all (click on picture too enlarge)
but there 15 ferrites.
I devided the wires into 3 groups. 3.3V + 5V + rest,

Van on filtering, demping, ect


- First on the P24 extension cable you see 2 (or 3) tight fitting ferrites in the beginning on the 3.3V + 5V + rest (the rest has 3 on)

- More over too the middle of the P24 extension cable.
I tried too split the wires into more parallel wires trying this too reduce current through each ferrite
This is the second group of ferrites I bought.
Those square ferrites have bigger hole diameter of 12 mm
In these ferrites I put a little bar of ferrite diameter 8 mm
(same little ferrite bars you can see more too the left of the picture)
With the wires wrapped around this little ferrite bar, this little coil tightly fits into the clamp
This way pushing the wires tightly onto the outside of the ferrite clamp.
3 to 4 centimeter wire length is tightly push against the ferrite clamp.

- Finaly at the end of the P24 I managed to sqeeuze in some of the same clamps as in the front.

This makes a total of 15.

As I bought enought ferrites, I’m also experimenting with clamps on the power wires comming from the Pico 200 that feeds the SSD and the USB bracket.

On the P4 are 2 ferrite clamps with hole diameter of 12mm with again 2 little ferrite bars inside it where the wire is wrapped arround a few times too press it fermly against the ferrite on the inside of the clamp.

I also added some smoothing caps + little by-pass caps.
I think those caps should be best added on both sides of the ferrite bunk.
But this still has too come, because I ran out of little oscon caps.
I expect them too arrive soon together with flat ferrites for ribbon cables.


I hope too get rit of 'the charcoal pile' of ferrites with these flat ferrites for ribbon cables.
Lintkabel met ferrrietkern RFP1-26-28-A5 (Conrad Electronic)
I want too stack them in a pile and than weave the extension cable from one into the other.
So the flat P24 extension cable will make an S=shaped route trough this stack of ferrites for ribbon.
It will look much better and I think it is also much easier too apply.

When they arrive I will post a picture of the stack with the P24 extension cable running through that pile of ferrite for ribbon cable.
