N Male to N Female Bulkhead 6 GHz Surge Arrestor / Lightning Protector
High-Frequency Bulkhead Coaxial Surge and Lightning Protection
This commercial-grade, high-performance Bulkhead Surge Arrestor / Lightning Protector features a precision Type N Male connector on one end and a Type N Female bulkhead connector on the other. Engineered to operate across a broad RF frequency spectrum up to 6 GHz, this specialized inline component is designed to protect sensitive radio and network equipment from destructive voltage transients, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and indirect lightning strikes that can travel down coaxial transmission lines. The bulkhead design allows it to be securely mounted directly through an enclosure wall or grounding panel, creating a shielded, weather-tight entrance point for outdoor-to-indoor cabling.
Utilizing an advanced, high-speed gas discharge tube (GDT) mechanism, the protector acts as a high-impedance barrier under normal operational conditions, allowing high-frequency RF signals to pass through with minimal insertion loss and exceptional voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). The moment a high-voltage surge or transient spike is detected on the line, the internal gas ionizes and rapidly fires, diverting the destructive excess electrical energy safely to the ground through the bulkhead's physical contact with the chassis or grounding plate. This preserves the operational integrity of downstream components like access points, cellular gateways, and sensitive test instruments.
