The LP-18-240 and LP-18-195 surge protector connectors have been added to the Times-Protect series of in-line broadband DC pass connectors as additions to the LP-18-400 line. The design provides effective lightning protection and the firm’s EZ Advantage X-series crimp-style connector interface unit for applications from DC through 6 GHz. This combination eliminates the cable connector needed with conventional lightning protection with a low-return-loss unit that meets the IP-67 standard for outdoor as well as indoor use. The DC-pass connectors are constructed of solid brass and attach directly to the firm’s LMR-400, LMR-240, and LMR-195 cables.
