There is a model which can be openend and closed ("Klappring"). Its inner diameter is 27 mm, which is fine for the 23-mm cable, but a little too small for the 29-mm cable. (This means that a small air gap will remain when closing the ring.) Fritz considered this as a resonable solution, and also the company Schloeder did not object. In certain conditions the air gap can even be an advantage, e.g., preventing saturation of the ferrite in the dc magnetic field of our cable. I attach the offer from Schloeder and a pdf file with table and picture (ours is FKHA-270 corresponding to Fig. B at the bottom). One unit costs about 3 Euro and we need at least 10 per BBLR wire. Do you agree that we ask for 100 units? Thanks & cheers, Frank
