Gary, Here is the response from the FCC on the same question except we asked about adding a ferrite on the power cable.
"The power cord with ferrite snaps and clamps for conducted emission compliance has got to be supplied as one unit. That is to say, the ferrite snaps and clamps must be incorporated into the power cord such that the purchaser of the electronic device does not have to put the ferrite snap or clamp onto the power cord when he or she is assembling the device for operation. The reason is that the FCC's historically knows that the buyer or purchaser of the electronic device will not put the ferrite snap or clamp onto the power cord and as a result the manufacturer must incorporate it into the power cord." Sincerely, Chad Bell From: Myers, Gary [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2013 8:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Ferrite on LAN Cable EMC Experts, 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?
