The Times Protect LP-18-400-NMH-X series is an exceptional in-line broadband DC pass surge protection design incorporating lightning protection circuitry and the EZ-400-NMH-X series crimp style connector interface unit.
The LP-18-400-NMH-X comes with a pre terminated LMR-400® cable at your choice of length, with an RP SMA Male on the Helium Miner side.
This combination allowing the in-line surge protector to be attached directly to the LMR®-400 cable eliminates the cable connector needed when using conventional lightning protectors.
As the LP-18-400-NMH-X allows one less connection and therefore is the lowest loss lightning protection available for helium use!
The LP-18-400-NMH-X series protectors exhibit outstanding RF performance over the entire frequency spectrum of both the EU868 and US915 frequency. The elimination of the extra connector further reduces return loss, insertion loss and lowers cost also!
In addition, its fully weatherized housing meets the IP-67 standard for outdoor as well as indoor installation.
