CA-23RP N M to N F Anti-Lightning Antenna Surge Protector

The CA-23RP coaxial surge protector (lightning arrester) is designed to protect RF antennas, communication devices and sensitive radio equipment from high-energy surges, electrostatic discharges and atmospheric electromagnetic pulses — common causes of damage during thunderstorms or electrical switching events. It features N-type connectors (male to female) and provides robust protection without compromising RF performance.

Key Features:
✔ Model: CA-23RP — coaxial surge protector / lightning arrester.
✔ Connectors: N Male to N Female for easy coaxial integration.
✔ Frequency Range: 0 – 2500 MHz, suitable for VHF/UHF and other RF bands.
✔ Impedance: 50 Ω standard for RF systems.
✔ Rated Power: 400 W — high peak power handling.
✔ Nominal Spark-Over Voltage: ~230 V DC — protects against overvoltage transients.
✔ Peak Discharge Current: ~10 kA (8/20 µs) — absorbs strong surge impulses.
✔ Low Insertion Loss: minimal effect on RF signal transmission.
✔ Weather-Resistant Housing: suitable for outdoor installations.

What It Does:
This surge protector includes protective elements (often gas discharge or semiconductor devices) that safely divert high-energy surges to ground before they reach your radio gear or antennas. It’s ideal for minimizing damage risk in outdoor radio installations and communication networks.

Typical Uses:
✔ Protective suppression for RF antenna systems and communication links.
✔ Protection for repeaters, transceivers and receivers exposed to outdoor conditions.
✔ For amateur, professional and industrial RF installations.
✔ Ensuring signal integrity and equipment safety during electrical storms.
