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.

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 building's 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. You May Also Need UHF UltraFlex Coax Cables The wrong cabling can wipe out antenna gain. Use only low-loss 50 Ohm coax like our ANT-141-033 series ultra-flex cables available in multiple pre-made lengths. J-Max Antenna Mounting Arms Proxicast's professional grade ANT-800-JP3 J-Max adjustable antenna mounts feature extraordinary strength and premium materials. Available in stainless steel and rust-proof aluminum, these mounts will last a lifetime. Coax Weathersealing Silicone Tape If moisture gets into the cabling it can create intermittent shorts and permanent damage. Seal all outdoor connections with our ANT-900-002 Pro-Grade Coax Silicone Sealing Tape.
