Hi Mitch. I've used those baluns together with resistive matching networks, between 50-ohm instrumentation and 150-ohm balanced lines (standard Fibre Channel copper cables). =20 One must take into account the attenuation of the matching network, which (with a cable connected) presents 200 ohms to the balun. > -----Original Message----- > From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mitch S.
