Lightning Arrester for Enhanced Protection: F Type Male to Female 3GHz 75 ohm Cellular 2G 3G 4G LTE CATV Satellite with 90V Gas Tube Discharge Surge Arrester Review

This is a solid little unit for outdoor installation (only installed indoors or at the entrance of a building). I didn't test it because there is no lighting to test haha!

good value for money. BUT, just make sure what kind of connection you need (male/female etc.). The kit does not include instructions or ground wire. No information is given or offered for a replaceable arrester insert. A search on the Internet will therefore be useful to you.

I have used this product with an RCA preamp to help RCA live longer. Lightning is the force that destroys the preamp. The device drains excess charge to earth. (Yes, you grounded it to a ground rod with a copper wire via the included clamp). I've had several storms since installation; So far, so good. This type of technology has been used in commercial and amateur radio for decades. 73 God bless you. K5EWM.

The first thing I received was defective. The signal dropped to 10% of normal level. Revain replaced it and the second new one had no noticeable reduction in signal strength. So test the signal after installation just to make sure you haven't screwed it up. Otherwise it looks like a solid and well-made device and as mentioned above it didn't negatively affect the signal. I took this to replace a very old lower spec surge protector.

Hope it never gets tested Ground wire about 2 feet long. from an 8 foot grounding rod. The ground wire is 8 gauge and attaches to the ground rod with a ground clamp. From there it goes to the coax ground block and through the ground lug and onto the down conductor. Use the grounding clamps instead of the small grommet provided, a real lightning strike will burn right through this grommet leaving you ungrounded before the discharge is over.

I purchased this surge arrester after a lightning strike near our home damaged our cable modem. Even though I installed whole-house surge protection in the main electrical panel and the cable modem and router were protected by an APC UPS, the modem was still damaged and needed to be replaced. The only connection to the modem that wasn't secure was the coaxial line. I connected this unit to the house coax and mounted it in a 4" x 4" universal waterproof box as shown in the pictures.

Was glad to find these affordable F-type lightning rods. I use them for 4G LTE cellular antennas running over 75ohm RG6 cables. Yes, I know the spec says I should use a 50 ohm cable, but I'm not doing it out of purely personal preference. I would give these surge arresters a full 5 stars except for one fact: the included ground screw is too long and does not tighten when grounded. tip (or a ground strap, for that matter). Because the screws have thin threads, it's quite difficult to find the…

Use: Surge suppressor for terrestrial TV antenna. (I have 120ft coax from my 24ft antenna tower to the entry point to my house (see tower picture)) DC Pass Compatible for Winegard LNA Boost XT HDTV Preamp: I have had no noticeable signal loss. I know this because I measured the signal strength before and after installation. Quality: incredibly well built; It's heavy, durable and very well made. This is really a quality product. Why I love this product: I love the gas fuse, which should blow if…
