FAQs
What are low PIM 1/4 wave coax lightning and surge protectors used for?
Low PIM 1/4 wave coax lightning and surge protectors are ideal for protection of distributed antenna systems (DAS), IEEE 802.16 and 802.20, and IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g wireless LAN applications. These RF surge protectors are designed to pass the desired frequency while suppressing lightning surges in outdoor wireless installations. The unique design provides equal protection no matter which way they are installed supporting flexible deployment in DAS and wireless network environments.
What passive intermodulation performance do low PIM 1/4 wave protectors provide?
Low PIM 1/4 wave coax lightning and surge protectors provide maximum passive intermodulation of -150 dBc supporting distributed antenna systems and wireless LAN applications requiring minimal interference. The low PIM specification ensures signal quality in multi-carrier RF systems where intermodulation distortion could degrade performance. This -150 dBc rating makes these protectors suitable for DAS, IEEE 802.16/802.20, and IEEE 802.11b/802.11g wireless networks requiring lightning protection without introducing signal distortion.
What frequency range do low PIM 1/4 wave surge protectors support?
Low PIM 1/4 wave coax lightning and surge protectors operate at frequencies ranging from 800 MHz to 2.25 GHz supporting distributed antenna systems and wireless LAN frequency bands. The 800 MHz to 2.25 GHz range accommodates common cellular and wireless frequencies used in DAS installations and IEEE 802.11b/802.11g networks. This frequency capability combined with 1/4 wave design provides effective lightning suppression while passing desired RF signals.
What connector types are available for low PIM 1/4 coax lightning and surge protectors?
Low PIM 1/4 wave coax lightning and surge protectors are available with either 7/16 DIN or Type N input and output connectors supporting various DAS and wireless LAN infrastructure requirements. 7/16 DIN connectors provide robust connections for high-power applications while Type N connectors offer versatile compatibility in RF systems. Both connector options support 50 ohm impedance matching in distributed antenna systems and wireless network installations.
What grounding features do low PIM 1/4 coax surge protectors include?
A ground lug is provided directly on the lightning protector's housing, which allows for superior grounding in distributed antenna systems and wireless LAN installations. The direct ground lug connection ensures effective lightning energy dissipation protecting RF equipment from surge damage. Superior grounding capability supports reliable protection in outdoor DAS and wireless network deployments experiencing lightning exposure.
What insertion loss do low PIM 1/4 wave coax protectors introduce?
Low PIM 1/4 wave coax lightning and surge protectors have a maximum insertion loss of 0.2 dB minimizing signal degradation in distributed antenna systems and wireless LAN applications. The low insertion loss maintains RF signal strength while providing lightning protection in DAS installations. This 0.2 dB specification combined with 1.2:1 maximum VSWR ensures efficient signal transmission in IEEE 802.11b/802.11g and IEEE 802.16/802.20 wireless networks.
