Product Overview

Cambium Networks Lightning Protection Unit

Lightning strikes are the most typical cause of system outages or failures of mast-mounted equipment, especially when mounted as high as 300m.

Product Highlights

cabling is diverted away from the ODU. When installed correctly with the recommended grounding practices (i.e. using solid shielded CAT5e cable), the PTP-LPU quickly shunts the excess current to ground (typically within five nanoseconds). By grounding the power surges before they can harm the units, the Cambium Networks PTP-LPU provides radios the best protection from the harmful effects of lightning. The PTP-LPU’s connections and enclosure are designed for IP 66/67 water and dust protection so they can be installed in the most difficult terrain and environmental conditions.

Ideal Applications

In-line Ethernet surge protection for outdoor Cambium radios mounted on towers, rooftops, and exposed structures. Recommended on every outdoor link to protect indoor equipment from lightning-induced transients.
