Intellitron LA-1101 Lightning Arrestor 400w 50 Ohm DC-1000MHz SO239

The Intellitron LA-1101 Lightning Arrestor is designed to protect your radio equipment from damage caused by lightning-induced surges and static electricity. This lightning arrestor has a power handling capacity of 400 Watts, operates with a 50 Ohm impedance, and covers a wide frequency range from DC to 1000MHz. The SO-239 connectors make it compatible with various coax-fed antennas and transmission lines.

Its primary purpose is to divert and dissipate the potentially harmful energy from lightning strikes or static discharges, preventing damage to your connected radio equipment. By providing a path to ground for excess energy, the LA-1101 helps safeguard your radio gear during adverse weather conditions and other situations where surges may occur.

It’s important to note that while a lightning arrestor like the LA-1101 can offer protection, it may not guarantee complete immunity against a direct lightning strike. Users should follow best practices for grounding and take additional precautions to minimize the risk of damage during severe weather events.
