The AL-BMBFB-9 is a BNC Male to BNC Female Bulkhead lightning protector designed for outdoor coaxial installations and protection of wireless devices. It operates effectively across a frequency range of DC to 3 GHz, providing bi-directional protection with a maximum VSWR of 1:1.3 and an insertion loss of 0.4 dB. The unit features a 90V gas discharge tube suppressor, which allows it to pass DC, making it suitable for applications involving remote amplifiers and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs). This lightning protector includes a replaceable gas tube element, ensuring multi-strike capability and fast response times. It is constructed with nickel-plated brass and aluminum materials, and it comes with a rubber O-ring seal for secure mounting through enclosure walls, as well as an aluminum mounting bracket. The device is RoHS compliant and has a maximum withstand current of 5 kA. Its dimensions are 3.2 x 1.6 x 0.8 inches, and it weighs 3.17 oz. The AL-BMBFB-9 is particularly suited for IEEE 802.11b/g wireless LAN applications, as well as ISM, MMDS, Cellular, and PCS applications.
Lightning Protector Model AL-BMBFB-9 is a gas discharge tube suppressor featuring wide-band operation up to 3 GHz. This unit features a BNC-Male to BNC-Female Bulkhead connector with a rubber O-ring seal for mounting through an enclosure wall or with the included aluminum mounting bracket.
Due to its low cost and superior RF performance, this unit is ideal for IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless LAN applications, as well as ISM, MMDS, Cellular, and PCS applications. The AL-BMBFB is also well suited for protecting sensitive test equipment from electrical surges. Since this protector will pass DC, it is suitable for applications where DC is carried through the coax cable, such as remote amplifiers and LNAs.
Both connector ports of this unit are equally protected. This provides protection no matter which way it is installed. Either port can face the antenna and either port can face the equipment.
The unit's replaceable gas tube element, multi-strike capability, and fast response time make it suitable for a wide range of applications. A ground lug and terminal are supplied directly on the lightning protector housing, which provides superior grounding.
