DX Engineering 75 ohm Coaxial Lightning Surge Protectors
DX Engineering 75 ohm Coaxial Lightning Surge Protectors feature a unique design that is impedance-matched to 75 ohms and are virtually transparent to all analog or digital bi-directional signals from DC to 1.0 GHz. Manufactured by Tii Network Technologies for DX Engineering, their patented proprietary coaxial gas tube surge protectors are equipped with an integral failshort mechanism for a power-cross condition, which shunts both the coaxial cables' center conductor and sheath for a common path to ground. The dc breakdown voltage of the protector provides superior protection against transient surges, and yet is compatible with network-powered applications. They may also be used in 75-ohm receive systems up to 1.0 GHz. The protection element is designed to reset after each over-voltage event and the metallic housing of the coaxial lightning surge protectors provides necessary EMI shielding. When properly connected, DX Engineering Coaxial Lightning Surge Protectors are environmentally sealed (15 psi) to prevent the ingress of moisture and humidity encountered in broadband pedestals, vaults and stand-alone receive antenna applications. Full 360 degree Type F connectors provide superior RF performance and tighter connections.

DX Engineering Coaxial Connection Weatherproofing Kits
DX Engineering Coaxial Connection Weatherproofing Kits provide two types of 3/4 inch tape, sealing and vinyl, that provide the right combination of reliable protection for your coaxial connections. This method provides an inexpensive water moisture and UV barrier that is fully capable for a long term installation, but is also easily and cleanly removed for maintenance. Taping, and subsequent removal and re-taping is accomplished quickly and easily with these tape kits. Each weatherproofing kit each contains two tapes; one roll of 3M Temflex™ 2155 Rubber Splicing Tape TES-2155, a conformable, self-fusing sealing tape as the water barrier, and one roll from three different grades of 3M Vinyl Electrical Tape for a UV barrier. Choose from Scotch Supper 88 Premium, Scotch Super 33 Plus or economy 3M Tartan 1710. Each kit will weatherproof six to ten double connections, depending upon the number of overlapping layers used. Select the kit below with the vinyl tape grade desired. Choose the economy kit for temporary weather protection and one of the professional grade tape kits for the long-term installation. The other type connector weather sealing that is a tar like substance is excellent for permanent commercial installations that are not intended to require removal. Instead, these tape kits also prevent water or condensation from entering your coaxial cable. They are perfect for the amateur, antenna experimenter or professional. Don't let water ruin your temporary or permanent coaxial connections. Moisture ingress could lead to damaged coax and corroded connections and cause high SWR conditions or shorts that could damage your equipment. Order DX Engineering Coaxial Connection Weatherproofing Kits to get those cable connectors sealed and plan for easy weatherproofing removal for future maintenance.

DX Engineering Coax Grounding Brackets
DX Engineering Coax Grounding Brackets are designed to provide additional grounding of coaxial cable shields. They are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and are supplied with a stainless steel V-bolt and hardware for fastening them to tower legs. There are two sizes available to fit most tower legs or antenna masts. These brackets have holes for two optional UHF bulkhead connectors; two UHF chassis mount connectors, or two Type-N bulkhead connectors. DX Engineering Coax Grounding Brackets may be used on the tower top junction point for the flexible antenna coax jumpers (often used to form a rotor loop), and the main runs down the tower leg. They are also useful at the base of the tower to provide a solid grounding point before the coax cable is routed away from the grounded tower. While the brackets have serrated teeth to bite through paint and corrosion, there is an additional hole in them so that an optional ground braid or copper strap may be extended for secure grounding. Bulkhead and chassis mount connectors are sold separately. NOTE: Due to the close mounting of the RF connectors closest to where the tower leg or metal pipe may be, some users have suggested to first make the connections weather-tight, then attach the bracket to the tower leg or metal pipe. Get your coaxial shields grounded with DX Engineering Coax Grounding Brackets!

DX Engineering Three Coax Tower Grounding Brackets
DX Engineering Three Coax Tower Grounding Brackets DXE-3CTGB-2 provide secure bonding points and standoffs for cable shields and connectors on tower installations. They are designed to help bond cable shields to the tower at the top, bottom, and every 75 feet on taller towers. Regular bonding helps keep the cable shield and tower leg at a similar electrical potential, creating a controlled conductive path. This can reduce the risk of cable jacket damage caused by high-energy pulses from a charged tower or nearby lightning. Without proper bonding, energy may arc through the cable jacket and create pinhole damage. The DXE-3CTGB-2 helps prevent this by providing a durable, repeatable bonding point at the recommended intervals. Features of the DXE-3CTGB-2: • Attaches on 1.00 to 2.00 in. tower legs, including ROHN 25G/45G/55G and Amerite 25/45/55 Series Tower Legs, using the included DX Engineering DXE-SSVC-2P Stainless-Steel Saddle Clamp. • Made from high quality 0.125 in. thickness laser cut stainless steel. • Holds up to three cables and connectors apart from the tower and from each other for easy connector weatherproofing. • Provides bonding and a safe conductive path from the shield through the bracket to the tower leg when used with appropriate connectors. • Three precision laser-cut 0.640 in. diameter connector mounting holes on the bracket accommodate up to three panel mount or bulkhead style connectors including: DXE-UHF-FDFB-KIT UHF Flanged Double Female Bulkhead mount kit with stainless steel hardware DXE-363-SST Double SO-239 Silver-Plated Bulkhead Mount DXE-1023-2 Type-N Double Female Silver-Plated Bulkhead Mount • Can be used with other Panel Mount Connector Adapters or Bulkhead Mount style lightning protectors. Additional holes provide bonding points for other types of shielded cable where panel feedthroughs can be mounted in the 0.640 in. holes to capture and support multiconductor cables. • The DXE-3CTGB-2 bracket may also be used as an antenna feedpoint, a wire guide or as a connection point for unique tower side-mount antennas or tower detuning stubs.
