Overview

Protect your antenna system with the Proxicast Coaxial Lightning Arrester and Suppressor. This rugged inline device is designed for outdoor RF layouts across VHF, UHF, amateur/HAM, and CB radios. With UHF male PL259 and female SO239 connectors, it integrates smoothly into common feedlines while staying compact enough for portable setups or base installations.

Key features at a glance

  • Bi-directional protection in an outdoor-ready enclosure, suitable for inline installation on coax runs.
  • Very low RF insertion loss with 50 Ohm impedance, helping preserve signal integrity from antenna to receiver.
  • DC pass-through to accommodate configurations that require DC power on the coax line.
  • 230V gas discharge tube provides multi-strike capability, shunting surges and transient energy toward ground.

Real-world benefits and use cases

In field deployments or fixed installations, this arrester sits between the antenna feedline and the radio or earth grounding point. Its robust construction suits outdoor environments, while its compact form supports both portable field days and permanent towers or masts.

  • Outdoor-ready protection: Built to endure weather exposure and rough handling typical of real-world antenna deployments.
  • Signal path protection: Bi-directional safeguards help manage unexpected surges without drastically affecting your signal path.
  • Signal integrity: Low insertion loss supports clear reception across HF to UHF bands.

How to install

  • Connect coax between the antenna feedline and the arrester’s PL259/SO239 interfaces.
  • Bond the unit to earth ground as part of your grounding strategy, following local electrical codes.

Note: This device complements existing protection measures. Review your system grounding and lightning safety practices to tailor protection to your setup.
