Idea from anime4000 post : DIY Speed up internet put Magnet?, it is possible can speed!!?
Special thanks to anime4000


So, 1st of all... What's the hell is ferrite bead?
According to wiki, A ferrite bead is a passive electric component used to suppress high frequency noise in electronic circuits. It is a specific type of electronic choke. Ferrite beads may also be called ferrite blocks, ferrite cores, ferrite rings, ferrite EMI filters, a ferrite choke or mistakenly as ferrous beads.




I dun care wat it is called but how it BENEFIT to me???
Ferrite beads are used as a passive low-pass filter. The elctromagnetic properties of coiled wire over the ferrite bead result in a high resistance for high-frequency signals, attenuating high frequency EMI/RFI elctronoic noise. Computers are fairly noisy devices. Computer and its cables act as nice, long antennae for the signals they carry. They broadcast the signals quite efficiently. The signals they broadcast can interfere with radios and TVs. The cables can also receive signals and transmit them into the case, where they cause problems. A ferrite bead has the property of eliminating the broadcast signals. Thus, user thats always encounter disconnect from ISP can use this method so stability their line and increase the speed stability of connection.

My personal experience

My SNR margin greatly increase from 15 to 22 after I added ferrite bead to my telephone line. Line attenuation also decreased few dB. Thus my line is now much more stable and the download speed maintain highly.


This is my download speed



I dont to waste money on, where can I find this thing and DIY myself!?
In a typical computer system found in a home or office, you normally see these "bumps" on the mouse, keyboard and monitor cables. You can also find them on power supply wires when a device (like a printer or scanner) uses an external transformer.
These "bumps" are called ferrite beads .


*Notice some of them are extractable and some are not, you can get it from old/unused cable.
Example of extractable ferrite bead(have some node like the 1 in picture), pls becareful when you are extracting ferrite bead. Sometimes you nid to be SPARTA to extract it.




Im damn interested now, but how to use??
Simple place the ferrite bead you have extracted earlier to the telephone wire before the socket jack. Don't be too greedy to put a lot of ferrite bead for best experience. Over strong magnetic field from ferrite bead will cause it filter "extra" signal including your adsl. So, please beware =)



Sometimes you need to remove the socket jack to place the ferrite bead, please do becareful.
Socket Jack Reference:

In order to make the wire connections to the telephone jack, loosen the connection screws. Now wrap the individual wires around the screws and tighten using a screwdriver. The screw are color coded just like the color of the wires.
You'll notice the wires are colored red, green, yellow, and black. In the old phone system years and years ago, the black and yellow wires were used to connect the power supply to run the rotary telephones. These days, the phones don't need this. For this reason, the red and green wires are all that are needed in most cases.



I don't have one, where can I get?!
Erm... Currently I still can't help you, but I have tried to bought some from oversea since I don't see this ferrite bead sell in malaysia. Maybe you wanna to wait for my good news. The price will be about RM10 or higher for each of it since it import from oversea, the shipping price is damn high. Maybe forumer can provide some details or tips on where to get this thingy.


DEMO ( Thanks to anime4000)
Good feedback from anime4000. SNR download margin increase from 10-->11dB with a ferrite bead from PSU.
Click here to see prove




EXTRA
Loop the wire itself on the ferrite bead increase efficiency. More coil = more resistant, thus better result.


Ferrite bead is widely used on variety of electronic equipment & device like TV, radio, HP handset and printer cables. Ferrite Beads that attach to cell phone headsets offer real protection against potentially dangerous cell phone radiation!! The usage is the same like this tutorial.


Finally!!
Enjoy your decent speed stability with ferrite bead.
pif.... wasted 1hour for the picture and explaination, I hope lowyat forum user will appreciate it and wont make me dissapointed.

Great info you have here. Thanks.

now i can download torrent more smooth!

yes... why lol... you should try it... this method

Yes, gv it a try ^^. Look around for unused ferrite bead, its cheap and DIY-able. Based on my experience, U wont notice different. I have tried put after the telephone cable. It seem like the signal transfer in RJ11 and RJ45 will not affect by external signal noise. So it wont gv any effect. Pls do tell us your result after u try.

Well,anything just to squeeze some more juice out of streamyx gets my vote.

I can see the DSL line in my area has alot of interference from the static noise I hear on my house phone.

so that's what its for. i got one in package with lcd tv

aluminum foil also can.. wrap aluminum foil around the entire length of your cable

it works on my loser line... even i run 175 streamyx IP download torrent, no capping lol

aluminium foil??? really? Have u tried it?? Can show us some pic?
But i think no much effect =P it just reflect the signal, not filter.
Anyway, considerable suggestion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_foil
lol.. how to apply at cable?

now dont tell me ferrite bead help prevent throttle

nope, best way to reduce noise is to limit the number of wire around and increase the distance between your electrical appliances

noise is caused by EM radiation form high voltage cable or nearby electrical appliances

btw wrapping aluminum foil around your wire will make u look ridiculous

i don't know... but i trying it without use static account, seem me not "no throttle" area.
by this method, it help my modem operate smooth and stability, low Super Error Frame...

as my old idea put magnet instead ferrite, ferrite batter then magnet...

EDIT: i downloading torrent via Linux (Ubuntu 10.04LTS)... lot users use linux to download via torrent, so linux also can by pass tm, i think...

Lol... yes, very ridiculous. But the idea is from you.
Ferrite bead can't prevent throttle, but increased speed stability.
Dont tell me u keep all the electrical appliances away just to avoid EM
Ur pc is the noisiest appliances. Regardless how far u keep it, it will emit Em also.

1xx kBps download speed is normal for 1Mbps subscribers
torrent speed depends greatly on the seeds

I pity those have to resort to using this kind of material only to boost a pity speed of 1xx kBps

that i know, but how TM make user unconnected or target can't reach,

i applying ferrite from morning (around 9AM) until 8PM, the my SNR margin still in 11.x dB area

SNR Margin info: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/222851
which area you are...

I'm using Unifi will this help?

LOL... Unifi are fiberoptic, no EMI, even lighting hit fiber cable still your modem in good condition...

I guess u are the lucky 1, do you??
Yes, 1xx kBps download speed is normal for 1Mbps subscribers. But that was long time ago.... (in galaxy far far away ==")
U might STILL lucky bcos tmnut haven done anything on ur connection hahax

Can you provide any screenshot of your Line Attenuation & SNR Margin with /without the ferrite?

Added on August 28, 2010, 8:15 pmMost of users with decent copper connection still getting the normal speed.Just the throttle part slowing down the dl speed.

Yes, I agree with u. Ferrite bead act as a resistance to eliminate EMI and RFI, therefore increase speed stability and avoid bandwidth loss. Ferrite bead cant boost/break speed of the package you have subscribed since the user speed is restrict by ISP, not copper wire =) Ferrite bead is just to ensure you get the best speed for wat you pay.

Here you are

Before everyone goes out and buys ferrite cores, keep in mind that they will not do anything for the majority of people. ADSL signals are differential-mode, i.e. equal and opposite polarities on the pair, whereas ferrite beads only filter out common-mode noise, where the signal is equal on both wires in the pair.

Modems already have ferrite beads inside. Adding extra cores on the cable will only make a difference if you're in a terrible RF area, e.g. there's a large AM radio station transmitting near you, swamping the front-end of your modem. ADSL runs at around 30kHz to 1.1MHz.

Choosing the wrong type of core will affect its performance too, if any. There are three main materials in use - mix 43, 64, and 77. Mix 43 covers 1MHz - 1GHz, which is what you'd want if you really wanted to try an extra ferrite core.

Ferrite cores are usually only used to prevent EMI leaking *from* devices, not to block them from entering devices.

Aluminium foil around the wire won't do anything unfortunately!

You can get free ferrite bead/core from unused cable, it is not necessary to buy to it if you have 1. Thx for your info. Yes, ferrite are used to prevent EMI leaking and the absorbed energy is converted to heat and dissipated by the ferrite As you know copper is the must have element for antenna. Thus it is always attract some "extra" signal from external environment. Ferrite does help regardless more or less. That's why the ferrite core is added on the telephone wire and not RJ45 / RJ11 wire.

I have telephone cables made with ferrite core, from my laptop packaging. Comparing to ordinary cables without ferrite core, it has no SNR or attenuation difference.

The place u live is so healthy XD

get it from explode Power Supply aka PSU, any broken old motherboard, or any board/cable that provide, this time we make an Green Earth and Recycle the computer component,

it is really working, now my DS margin up for 2db and US margin for 1db, whereas attenuation for DS is down for 1db

yes.. not to day i add 2 ferrite, not total 3 ferrite...






Speed test at: http://speed.animeclan.net/

Any wire will receive RF, but the interference will be common-mode which will be ignored by good modems, unless you happen to be in an RF-poor environment that swamps your modem's front-end. That's why I'm saying, ferrite cores don't magically make your line more stable - you must be swamped by stray RF at just the right frequencies first, before ferrite cores will do anything.

It's like saying eating panadol will make you feel better. It won't - you must have a headache first before panadol will make you feel better.


hmm RJ11 is the plug used on CPE telephone wires...
