Surge protection for transceiver systems

Antenna cables which extend beyond the building and are generally particularly long, as well as the antennae themselves, are directly exposed to atmospherical discharges.

Transients can be coupled in these cables and can thus also cause damage to the transceiver systems and to the building.

Complete protection also offered in the private sector

Wireless transmission systems use cables with a coaxial construction, which possess characteristics that are favorable with respect to EMC technology.

Nevertheless, the danger of surge voltage coupling in antenna cables and the formation of parasitic voltages up to the sensitive interfaces of the transceiver systems is not totally averted. 

However, protection against surge voltages is not only appropriate for directional wireless and mobile wireless systems. Local communication systems or video monitoring systems should also be equipped with surge protection.

In the private sector, you should also effectively protect your television and radio equipment against surge voltages with special adapters.

The safety of transceiver devices of any kind can be significantly increased with suitable surge protection devices. The aim of such protective measures is to significantly increase the availability and operability of the particular devices.
