If an ITE product requires a ferrite on an external LAN cable in order
to comply with FCC Part 15 and EU EMC Directive requirements, is it
legally required that the manufacturer include the LAN cable fitted
with the ferrite with the ITE product, or can the manufacturer simply
provide the ferrite along with detailed installation instructions for
the end user to add the ferrite to his own LAN cable?
Legal requirements don't go down to such details. This is where your EMC
Assessment file comes in. You explain in it what you have done -
provided the ferrite and explained how to use it. In the unlikely event
of an investigation, you have exercised due diligence.
I would suggest a form of magic words for the instructions:
'For continued conformity with EMC regulations, a LAN cable with a
ferrite filter is required. If your LAN cable does not have such a
filter, it is essential to install the filter provided.'
