How can a ferrite clamp be called a CMAD Common Mode Absorption Device? It reduces EM radiation by reducing the current through the "antenna", not by absorbing RF. It could, however, be called a CMAD Common Mode Attenuation Device.

And do you mean before I make a name for the device or before I make a DIY device itself? I don't plan to do that at present, but you never know. The discussion in the UK committee leads me to think that the 'MAD' part is apt.
