Why do the original Beolab 5 cables use ferrite (a magnet) on both sides? (the humps in the picture).

Thanks Steve for the fast reply! 🙂
@Steve, what is your suggestion of max cable length for a BL5? Or to make it even worth, if you have an Almando Powerlink Switch in between?
Hi,
I haven't used the Almando box, so I can't comment on this. However, I usually suggest 20m as a sensible maximum for Powerlink and S/PDIF cables.
Kind regards, Steve.

Thank you Steve for your quick reply!
I use Steve's cables (without ferrite) and never heard any kind of noise on my BL5.
