Coaxial cable surge arrester
BOURNS

Bourns protectors are designed to shield sensitive equipment connected to data and signal interfaces from damage or upset caused by electrical surges. Signal & Dataline protectors are all heavy-duty multi-stage devices.

This family of products also includes Coaxial Surge Protectors intended for use with low power VHF and UHF transmitters, 2-way base station transceivers, and receive-only systems.

Signal & Dataline Protection - Bourns Series 1600, 1700 and 1800 surge protectors are designed to shield sensitive equipment connected to data and signal interfaces from damage or upset caused by electrical surges. Bourns signal & dataline protectors are all heavy-duty multi-stage. A solid-state section intercepts the leading edge of the surge in sub-nanosecond response time. Within microseconds, a 3-pole balanced gas tube, capable of handling 20,000 amperes lightning currents, crowbars the surge to ground. The protector remains in the crowbar state until the surge has passed and line voltages return to safe levels. The protector automatically restores the line to normal operation and awaits the next surge without the need to reset the breaker or replace the fuse. Protectors are generally placed as close as possible to the equipment to be protected. On a daisy-chain application, such as the RS-485 or Fieldbus, a separate protector must be installed at each equipment node.

The Bourns 1965 Series Coaxial Surge Protector is intended for use with low power VHF and UHF transmitters, 2-way base station transceivers, and receive-only systems. All models provide GDT technology.
