DX Engineering Utility Enclosure Kits
DX Engineering Utility Enclosure Kits are ideal for the outdoor mounting of many types of lightning protectors or other equipment. This enclosure and grounding plate kit accommodates coaxial protectors with a flange mount or bracket so connectors are parallel with the grounding plate. (Bulkhead protectors that mount the connector through a grounding panel cannot be used.) DX Engineering DXE-UE-2P Utility Enclosure kits are manufactured from weather-resistant, high-impact thermoplastic material that protects the inside components against rain and directed water spray. The housing and wire entrance grommet materials used in the enclosure are fire-retardant and UV-stabilized and resist degradation from weathering, environmental contaminants, chemical fertilizers, and insecticide sprays. The exterior of the housing may be painted with latex or oil base paints if needed to help blend into the location. Because these kits have many potential applications, no holes have been drilled in the enclosure. However, mounting holes have been pre-drilled in the aluminum mounting plate. Four of the six sheet metal screws are included to secure the mounting plate to the enclosure; the other two sheet metal screws are for mounting the copper strap clamp to the mounting plate. Watertight feedthrough couplers mount to the top of the enclosure; drilling or cutting with a hole saw is required. Eleven port openings exist in the bottom--two are large for conduit coaxial entry/exit, and nine are smaller for coaxial cable, rotor cable, Telco lines, and more. All openings are sealed by a weathertight foam insert. NOTE: The DXE-UE-2P accommodates coaxial protectors that have a Flange Mount bracket, or those that work with an accessory bracket, to mount the connectors parallel with the grounding plate. Bulkhead Mount protectors that place a connector through the grounding plate cannot be used. These kits include: * 13 in. W x 14 in. H x 4 in. D enclosure (11-1/2 in. W x 11 in. H x 3-1/8 in. D) * 6 stainless steel hex washer head slotted sheet metal #8 x 1/2 in. screws * 8 in. W x 11.0 in. H x 1/8 in. D pre-drilled 6061-T6 aluminum mounting plate * Four weathertight coaxial cable feedthrough couplers, ideal for most RG8U or RG-213 sized coaxial cable * One 2 in. x 1/2 in. x 1/8 in. thick copper strap clamp with two drilled holes Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. Provide proper protection for your weather-sensitive connections. Use DX Engineering Utility Enclosure Kits to supply the environmental safeguard you need!

DX Engineering GBWM-W Copper Ground Bus Wall Mounts
DX Engineering GBWM-W Copper Ground Bus Wall Mounts are very rugged and can be used a station ground bus or as a single point ground for surge protectors. They are wide enough to mount up to four Flange Mount Coaxial Surge Arrestors, PolyPhaser or Alpha Delta. Heavy 13 gauge (.0937 in.) tempered copper prevents twisting or flexing from the weight of long coax cable runs. GBWM-W ground busses come with ground lugs, ring terminals and hardware. GBWM-W features: * Four ground point holes for 1/4 in. hardware and 1/4 in. ring terminals * Wider than the original GBWM model by 1.563 in. to accommodate larger arrestors * Can hold up to four Alpha Delta TT/ATT3G50 coax surge protectors * Can hold up to four PolyPhaser flange-mounted surge protectors * May be used indoors or outdoors * Uses the stud/nut that comes with TT/ATT3G50 units to mount them to bus bar * Supplied copper lugs handle ground wires from 14 to 4 AWG to attach to Single Point Grounds (SPG), station grounds or ground rods * Crimp ring terminals are provided for additional ground-wire connections * Wall mounting screws required are common types, like number 10 pan head or common black drywall screws (user-supplied) Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. Every ham knows that providing effective station grounding is very important. DX Engineering GBWM-W Copper Ground Bus Wall Mounts provide the kind of single-point ground your equipment and coaxial runs need!

ERICO Copper Grounding Bars
ERICO Copper Grounding Bars provide proper bonding; essential to create an equipotential plane between service grounds and shack equipment. This equipotential plane provides a near-zero voltage differential and serves to protect people and equipment during transient and electrical-fault events. These ERICO grounding bars have a series of 0.281 in. diameter holes that accommodate mounting many items, including Alpha Delta, PolyPhaser, and other surge-protection devices. They include stand-off mounts that deliver extreme isolation from the mounting surface. When used in tandem with ERICO ground rods and ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOT Wire to Ground Rod Clamps, there is no better grounding system available… period! These ground bars have a 1-1/16 in. standoff of their stainless mounting brackets plus a 1-1/2 in. insulator. This places the inside of the ground bar more than 2-1/2 inches from the mounting surface. There's plenty of room to work after mounting the bar. These bars may be mounted horizontally or vertically and the mounting holes in the copper bar are 8-7/8 in. on center. These grounding bars provide a convenient, reliable grounding location. Their quarter-inch thick solid-copper bar represents the ultimate in ground connections. ERICO grounding bars include insulators, stainless steel brackets, stainless steel mounting bolts, and are UL Listed. For premier grounding at your station, rely on ERICO Copper Grounding Bars from DX Engineering.

DX Engineering Small Utility Enclosure Kits
DX Engineering Small Utility Enclosure Kits are weather-resistant, high-impact thermoplastic enclosures, perfect for outdoor mounting of lightning protectors or other equipment. Their design ensures protection against rain and direct water spray. These DXE-UE-1P enclosures are a smaller option compared to the DXE-UE-2P enclosure. The thermoplastic housing and wire entrance materials are fire retardant, UV stabilized, and resistant to degradation from environmental contaminants, chemical fertilizers, and insecticide sprays. Additionally, the housing can be painted with latex or oil-based paints. Provide proper protection for your weather-sensitive connections.

DX Engineering Radio RF Ground Plane Kits
DX Engineering Radio RF Ground Plane Kits provide an effective method of reducing stray RF pickup by equipment and interconnecting cables. Used under and connected to radio equipment, these 1/16 inch thick, pre-drilled aluminum or copper sheets create an RF reference plane that is also connected to the existing grounding bus. As described in the ARRL's "Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur 2nd Edition" by H. Ward Silver, N0AX; a large surface area of metal improves upon the single conductor grounding buss by equalizing the RF E-field (electric field) around equipment and attached cables. This reduces voltage differences between pieces of equipment and the associated currents that cause RF interference to transceivers, microphones and accessories. The reduction in RF interference improves both transmitted and received signal quality. Radio RF Ground Plane Kits are available in 12 versions; three sizes of aluminum or copper plate with hardware and the same three sizes of aluminum or copper plates with companion mounting boards made of 1/2 inch thick Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), with hardware. All kits are intended for indoor use only. As used by top contesters and DXers alike, a flat metal sheet placed under equipment, along with physically short grounding braids, wires and interconnection cables can significantly reduce the RF voltage differences between cables and equipment. The chance of RF trouble in your equipment is reduced by installing DX Engineering Radio RF Ground Plane Kits in your station.

DX Engineering's Aluminum Radio RF Ground Plane Kits
DX Engineering's Aluminum Radio RF Ground Plane Kits provide an effective method of reducing stray RF pickup by equipment and interconnecting cables. Used under and in back of equipment, this 1/16 inch thick, pre-drilled aluminum sheet creates an RF reference plane that is typically connected to the existing grounding bus, and provides an economical alternative to a copper sheet. As described in the ARRL book "Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur, 2nd Edition" by H. Ward Silver, N0AX; a large surface area of metal improves upon the single conductor grounding buss by equalizing the RF E-field (electric field) around equipment and attached cables.
