conforme à la description.
Très bien, je m'en suis servi pour fabriquer un UNUN 9:1 pour une antenne filiare de réception HF, fait bien le taff.

Perfect for my projects. I built a transformer for an antenna system with these and they are holding up great, stack 2 or 3 and you'll be set. Great value, easy, and work as intended when used in your project. It knocked out some stray RF on my laptop USB that would disconnect from my radios with every transmission.

Excellent Ferrite Core for DIY Balun Projects
I used the FT240-43 ferrite toroid core in my balun build, and it performed exactly as I hoped — solid, reliable, and very forgiving for amateur builds. The 43-mix material offers good broadband performance, making it ideal for HF baluns that cover a wide range of frequencies without excessive loss.Winding onto the core is straightforward even for larger gauge wire, and the core’s smooth surface makes it easier to dress the turns neatly. Once assembled, the balun exhibits low loss and stable impedance transformation across the intended HF range. That translates into improved SWR and cleaner feedline current, especially noticeable on multiband antennas.Pros:• Great broadband performance: Works well across HF bands with minimal loss.• Easy to work with: Winding and handling are straightforward even with heavier wire.• Consistent results: Baluns built with FT240-43 show stable, predictable performance.• Good for HF & multiband: Excellent choice for 1:1 current baluns, 4:1 impedance transformers, and similar builds.Cons:• Not ideal for VHF/UHF: Ferrite #43 isn’t optimized for higher-frequency VHF/UHF applications (but for HF baluns it’s spot on).Overall, the FT240-43 toroid core is a reliable, high-value choice for any ham radio or antenna project that needs a quality ferrite core balun. I’ll definitely be using more of these in future builds.

Beware of other brands! Buy these.
I struggled with the "green 2-pack" ferrites from amazon and i suspected they were defective (i was right) until I ordered two of these. They worked as expected and had low VSWR on the VNA when winding a 49:1 unun and testing into a 2450 ohm resistive load. Other "green" Amazon torroids were unable to achieve any better than 3:1 VSWR! These were 1.5:1 in the same setup.
