PolyPhaser IS-B50LN-C2 10 MHz - 1 GHz N Female Bulkhead Coax RF Surge Protector

PolyPhaser IS-B50LN-C2 10 MHz - 1 GHz N Female Bulkhead Coax RF Surge Protector The PolyPhaser IS-B50LN-C2 is a high-performance coaxial RF surge protector designed to shield sensitive radio and antenna equipment from damaging lightning strikes and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) surges. This indispensable component is crucial for installations where system equipment is outdoors, ensuring protection for your investment against powerful electrical events. Operating across a wide frequency range of 10 MHz to 1 GHz, the PolyPhaser IS-B50LN-C2 supports high-power radio systems with a maximum input power of 1.5 kW. It incorporates a sophisticated dual protection design—using both a blocking capacitor and a gas tube—to suppress DC surges while allowing the RF signal to pass cleanly through, guaranteeing consistent signal quality and unmatched safety. Key Features Broadband Frequency Range: Supports 10 MHz to 1 GHz operation, providing versatile lightning protection for HF, VHF, and UHF radio systems. High Power Handling: Rated for a maximum input power of 1.5 kW, making it suitable for high-power transmitters and repeater installations. Superior Surge Suppression: Features a 20 kA surge current rating and an ultra-low 120 µJ throughput energy, ensuring maximum protection for connected equipment. N Female Bulkhead Connectors: Utilizes N Female connectors on both the input and output sides, providing a robust, high-quality, and secure connection for feedlines. DC Block Technology: Incorporates a blocking cap and gas tube to effectively suppress DC current surges, safeguarding circuits without degrading the RF signal. Benefits Prevents Catastrophic Damage: Acts as a sacrificial shield, protecting expensive radio equipment and antennas from lightning-induced power surges and EMP events. Maintains Signal Integrity: Achieves a low VSWR of less than 1.1:1 and only 0.1 dB nominal insertion loss, ensuring the RF signal quality remains pristine. Multi-Strike Capability: Designed to handle multiple surge events, providing ongoing and reliable protection over its service life. Durable Installation: The bulkhead mount style ensures a secure, permanent, and ground-focused installation point for maximum safety.   Warranty 1-year manufacturer's warranty
