NexTek Announces a Major Breakthrough in Surge Capability @ 6 GHz
Pass DC at no sacrifice to 6 GHz RF
Performance Miniature, ruggedized, dustproof and waterproof
Westford, MA, June 25, 2007 - - NexTek, Inc., the
leading designer of best-in-class lightning protection and EMC / power
conditioning products and services, announces the expansion of the E-Class
Series designed for optimizing RF performance at frequencies up to 6
GHz. The E-Class Series sets new, breakthrough surge performance standards
to 6 GHz, provides bi-directional protection and is also characterized
by passing DC without any performance degradation. This ground-breaking
family of ultra-compact SurgeGuard™ lightning arrestors is specifically
developed to meet the stringent demands of emerging RF applications
including Ultra Wideband, Wi-Fi, WiMAX ground penetrating radar, surveillance,
high speed communications systems, 5.0 - 6.0 GHz UNII, MMDS, WLL, IMS
bands, public safety 4.9 GHz and HiperLAN.
The ultra-compact
SurgeGuard E-Class Series is based on a gas discharge tube design packaged
in two small geometry form factors designated PTCONFSAF09E and PTCONxONF09E.
The miniature PTCONFSAF09E arrestors measure only 42 mm x 24 mm, have
N-type to SMA-type connectors and can deliver a maximum of 30 W (48
dBm) of RF power at a maximum through-current of 5 A. The PTCONxONF09E
arrestors measure only 50 mm x 24 mm, have N-type connectors and can
deliver a maximum of 30 W (48 dBm) of RF power at a maximum through-current
of 10 A.
All E-Class Series products include a 90V gas discharge
tube and exhibit a nominal impedance of 50 Ω. Additional specifications
include excellent lightning transient protection performance, low return
loss (VSWR), top-rated materials, superb construction and are designed
to be both waterproof and dustproof (IP68 Standard). The robust SurgeGuard
E-Class Series provides a 10x multiple strike capability @ 5 kA and
a 20 kA (8 x 20 μs) surge capability.
The E-Class Series is available
with a variety of connectors including N(Female)-N(Female); N(f)-N(m);
N(f)-SMA(f). The E-Class series of lightning arrestors is currently
available and is value-priced in OEM quantities starting at $33 each.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
