Antenex® Stops Lightning Cold with the TrapperTM

Antenex Trapper Lightning Arrester

Schaumburg, IL. - You can almost hear it say "Hit me with your best shot!" The Antenex Trapper lightning arrester helps prevent costly repairs to sensitive radio equipment due to high-energy transients during lightning strikes. Available in an inline or bulkhead mount, the lightning TrapperTM arresters are ready to bear the burden of protecting your high valued RF equipment.

The gold anodized TrapperTM limits surges to 45 volts in approximately 100 nanoseconds. A gas discharge tube changes from an open circuit to a short circuit in the presence of voltage surge giving those surges a direct path to ground, thus protecting yoTM is designed with a rugged, yet attractive housing with high quality plated brass "N" connectors and a user replaceable gas discharge tube. From 0-1000 MHz one model covers the entire LMR spectrum. Insertion loss is less than 0.1dB up to 500 MHz. and < 0.25dB up to 1000 MHz. Do not install another antenna without one!
