RF SOLUTION-CITEL
RF Coaxial Protectors
P8AX - PRC - CXP
CITEL offers a comprehensive range of surge protectors
designed for RF coaxial lines. Various technologies are
available to comply the different uses and requirements.
P8AX series
The P8AX series is based on gas discharge tube (GDT) and
designed for RF line surge protection. Available for different
power and with coaxial connectors (N, BNC, TNC, UHF,
SMA, 7/16, 7/8 cable), P8AX units could be provide in
feedthrough mounting version (P8AX...W) and with various
impedance (50 or 75 ohms).
Main characteristics :
- Insertion losses < 0,2 dB
- VSWR < 1,2
- Imax : 20 kA (8/20
㎲
)
- Bandwidth : 0 to several GHz
-
Connectors : N, BNC, TNC, 7/16, F, SMA, UHF, 7/8 cable.
PRC series
PRC protectors are based on <<Quarter-Wave>> technology and
are available in more than 30 versions : various connectors (7/16,
N, TNC, 7/8 cable, BNC) and bandwidth (from 450 MHz to 6 GHz).
These devices provide a very low residual voltage and are
maintenance free.
Main characteristics :
- Insertion losses < 0,2 dB
- VSWR < 1,2
- Bandwidth : - 430-460 MHz
- 870-950 MHz
- 1700-1950 MHz
- 800-2200 MHz (wide band)
- 1700-2200 MHz
- Imax : 100 kA (8/20
㎲
)
- Connectors : 7/16, N, BNC, TNC, 7/8 cable.
CXP and CXP-DCB series
CXP protectors are based on GDT to provide high discharge
current capability without destruction. Its particular mounting
allows good adaptation to radio and TV system. Typical
applications include radio terminals and TV sets
(antenna, cable or satellite) CXP-DCB version is built-in with
an extra
<< DC block >> stage in order to reduce low frequency
disturbances (DC and lightning voltages) and decrease
significantly the residual voltage.
Main characteristics (CXP) :
- Insertion losses < 0,5 dB
- VSWR < 1,3
- Imax : 20 kA (8/20
㎲
)
- Bandwidth : DC - 1000 MHz
- Connectors : F, BNC, SE, N ..
Main characteristics (CXP-DCB) :
-
<< DC Block >> feature
- Insertion losses < 0,15 dB
- VSWR < 1,2
- Imax : 5 kA (8/20
㎲
)
- Bandwidth : 125 - 1000 MHz
- Connectors : N, BNC
Note: Comprehensive information about these ranges could be found in the
dedicated CITEL catalog :
