Lightning Arrestor
The N-350NB Lightning Arrestor safeguards expensive electronic
equipment from damage caused by static electricity and lightning
induced surges, at a budget price.
The ultra-fast gas discharge tube safely shunts up to 5000 amps of
peak impulse current to an independent ground connection.
The N-350NB Lightning Arrestor is for use with externally
mounted antennas and comes with a female to male connector.
This device is inserted inline, to reduce the likelihood of a lightning
strike destroying your GPS equipment.
