ZEBRA Psion Lightning Protector 50-700 MHz N-Female to N-Female DC Block 9010400

In wireless base stations and antenna installations, a single lightning strike can destroy expensive RF equipment. The ZEBRA Psion Lightning Protector (model 9010400) is an in-line surge protection device that shields your 50-ohm coaxial line from transient surges. It covers 50–700 MHz and uses N-female connectors on both ends, with an integrated DC block to stop low-frequency or DC surges from reaching your radio.

Key specifications

Why choose it

This protector is built for outdoor and harsh environments, with an IP67-rated nickel-plated brass housing that resists corrosion. The gas discharge tube reacts in under 5 nanoseconds, diverting surges up to 10 kA away from your sensitive equipment. The DC block adds an extra layer of protection against low-frequency interference and DC surges.

Ideal use cases

• Wireless communication systems
• Cellular base stations
• Antenna feed lines
• Broadcast transmitters

Good to know

Install the protector in-line on the coaxial cable between the antenna and the radio. Ensure proper grounding for maximum effectiveness. The N-female connectors are standard for professional RF installations.
