Coaxial Surge Lightning Protector

I had surge protector w/o cable connection so I purchased these. Easy to install and hope they work as I had lightning run in on cable that was properly grounded with 8' ground rod and ground clamps.

I installed this between my outdoor antenna and TV. I hope I never find out how well it works. All I can say is that it has not degraded the quality of the signal.

Over the last few months my cable TV service kept turning off with no warning. After much back and forth with the provider, a change of the cable console, and a change of the TV electrical surge suppressor the service continued dropping suddenly as it was before. This ended when I found this cable surge suppressor. I added this to my system and the service stopped dropping suddenly. I must say that I am very happy with the results, and to make things better, this cable suppressor is inexpensive, easy to install, and uses minimal space. Very nice indeed.

Good price for what you get. But one of the two did not work. This happened to be the firs one I installed. Second one appears to pass a good signal to my satellite receiver, at least I cannot tell any difference. Will probably look for another brand to try next time.

Hope it works

So far so good, been protecting my tv's from lightening storms going on a year now, even wile tv still on during the storms! So far so good so it must be working! Thanks! Mr. Benny B.

it's hard to review a surge protector since I hope I never have to find out if it works as advertised. what I can say is installation is a breeze, and I have noticed no drop in signal or picture quality. it should work best if installed just before a correctly installed grounding block. don't expect this to protect against a direct lightning strike as high voltage will just arc across any protector, but it will help against nearby strikes causing lower voltage surges. having your mast correctly grounded will also assist in dispersing surges and may prolong the life of all your equipment including the surge protector. This surge protector comes in a 2-pack which is handy to keep a spare in the event one does get burned out- they are one time protect disposables after all and you will have no signal until it is replaced or removed.

Luckily, I have not needed to test these as no lightning has gotten through, unless these just block without burning out. I have one near the antenna, a second one just before the power booster installed on my UPS coax input. I tested the picture quality without them and there is no signal degradation. Absolutely a must for storm prone areas.
