Coaxial lightning protector keeps surges down
The DSX-D coaxial lightning protector is a weatherproof passive filter design with DC blocking from surge-side centre pin to equipment-side centre pin.
Designed for the telecommunications industry and broadband applications, it delivers industry-leading RF and surge performance characteristics.
The Micro DSX series is maintenance free and recommended for both transmitters and receivers.
Comprehensive testing has demonstrated low surge throughput energy that measures significantly less than 0.5uJ at 3kA (8/20us waveform).
The DSX provides both positive and reverse voltage protection, features UniBody lightning filter construction that exhibits low insertion loss (maximum 0.1dB) and offers a low VSWR (maximum 1.1:1) over the frequency range of 800MHz to 2.3GHz.
Maximum surge characteristics are 18kA for N connectors and 30kA for 7/16 DIN connectors.
The DSX series features an ultra compact footprint, a fully integrated connector housing and multistrike capability.
It meets Bellcore TA-NWT-000487 120mile/h wind driven rain standards and is designed for an operational temperature range between -40 and +85C.
