Surge Protection Reaches 6 GHz

Jack Browne  |  ED Online ID #15975 |  June 26, 2007

NexTek, Inc., perhaps best known for its lightning-protection and power-conditioning units, has developed the E-Class Series of surge protectors for applications through 6 GHz. The units provide bidirectional protection and are characterized by passing DC without any performance degradation. The compact SurgeGuard(TM) lightning arrestors are designed to meet the demands of high-frequency applications such as public-safety radios, WiMAX, MMDS, and HiperLAN through 6 GHz. The protectors are based on a gas discharge tube design packaged in two small geometry form factors. The two variations are available with SMA or Type N connectors for delivering as much as 30 W (+48 dBm) RF power and through current of 5 and 10 A, respectively.

New seems to be the lightning current it can handle. I haven't found anything that goes to 6GHz that can handle over 10kA, Nextek says they can do 20kA. We need this in Florida! Does anyone know of a better one?

I was wondering what was so "new" about this product? Polyphaser already markets a unit, the GT-NFM-AL, that goes up to 7 GHz and handles 90 watts.
