Installing Ferrite Beads on Interface Cables for
MorphoAccess™ 200 and 300
This document provides an overview of ferrite beads and explains how to install them on the
power, Wiegand, RS-422, and Ethernet cables that you connect to the MorphoAccess™ 200
or 300. To meet FCC requirements for Class B computing devices, a ferrite bead must be
installed on every cable connected to the MorphoAccess 200 or 300 — only if the
MorphoAccess serial number starts with 01 or 02.
What is a Ferrite Bead?
Ferrite beads are radio frequency (RF) absorbers. To see an example of a ferrite bead, look
at a monitor video cable or a laptop computer power cable that is connected to your
computer. The walnut-sized protrusion that is molded near one end of the cable is a ferrite
bead. The size and shape of the ferrite bead determines the amount of RF that is absorbed.
The amount of RF that a device emits determines the type of ferrite bead that is required to
provide the proper absorption.
The ferrite beads supplied with your MorphoAccess 200 or 300 terminal have been properly
sized to absorb the correct amount of RF to comply with FCC requirements.
Installing a Ferrite Bead
Check the serial number on the back of the MorphoAccess. If the serial number starts with
01 or 02, install one ferrite bead on each cable before you install the MorphoAccess 200 or
300 terminal.
