SMA Female to Female surge protectors are the most popular type of coaxial surge protection used for CEL-FI repeater systems. The SMA Female interfaces allow the surge protector to be placed inline between the coaxial cable from the outdoor antenna and the patch cable used to connect to the repeater or 4G modem. Surge protection is recommended for all roof mounted antenna installations where the risk of a lightning surge is high and the cost associated with equipment damage outweighs the cost to implement a lightning protection system. Consult AS/NZS 1768:2007 risk management process, or talk to your Powertec Project Engineer.

The implementation of a lightning protection system is recommended in not only protecting the warranty of equipment, but the warranty of any sensitive electrical equipment located in the building. Failure to implement reasonable lightning protection measures may also void insurance policies held by the building owner.
