Description

ANT-233-002 UHF Coax Lightning ArresterANT-233-002 UHF Coax Lightning Arrester

Proxicast Pro-Grade Coaxial Lightning Arrester for 0 to 3 GHz (UHF-Female/UHF-Female)

230V Discharge Voltage for Maximum Protection

This gas discharge tube lightning suppressor features wide-band operation from DC to 3 GHz with low RF insertion loss, making it ideal for HF, Marine VHF, UHF, CB, Amateur Radio (Ham), P25, GMRS, LMR, Two-Way and other radio system antennas. It can absorb 2.5 times the energy of typical 90V arresters.

UHF-Female to UHF-Female In-Line Arrester

With dual UHF-Female (SO-239) connectors, the arrester sits inline with your coax cabling. It passes DC for applications such as remote amplifiers and LNAs. Both ports are equally protected - it can be installed in either orientation. The housing ground lug provides superior grounding.

Protect Equipment, Structures & Personnel

Coaxial lightning suppressors should be installed between outdoor antennas and radio equipment to protect from high-energy electrical pulses carried through the coax cable either from a direct or nearby lightning strike. Arresters should be installed outdoors as close as possible to the equipment to be protected, typically at the point where the coax cable enters the building.

  • Bi-Directional Operation
  • Wide Band Frequency Range
  • 230V Discharge Voltage
  • Replaceable Gas Discharge Tube
  • Corrosion Free Nickel Plated Brass Construction
  • Low VSWR & Signal Attenuation

Be Safe!

  • Install arresters away from combustible materials.
  • Weatherseal the coax connections to the arrester.
  • You must connect the ground screw of the arrester to an earth ground such as:
    • The ground rod tied to your buildings electrical panel.
    • A water utility pipe that enters the building.
    • A new copper ground rod that you drive yourself.
  • Use #10 AWG (or thicker) copper ground wire between the arrester and ground point.
  • Consult your local building code for other grounding and safety requirements.
