LP-18-400-N Connector Protector
• Eliminates the Need for Separate
Cable Connector
• Attaches Directly to LMR®-400 Cable
• Uses EZ-400-X (No Braid Trim)
Connector Interface
• DC Pass Multi-Strike Broadband
Bidirectional Design
• Fully Weatherized Housing
• Solid Brass Construction
• White Bronze Plated for
Durability and Long Life
The Times Protect®LP-18-400-N series is an exceptional in-line
broadband DC pass surge protection design incorporating
lightning protection circuitry and the EZ-400-X series crimp style
connector interface unit. This combination allowing the in-line
surge protector to be attached directly to the LMR®-400 cable
eliminates the cable connector needed when using conventional
lightning protectors. The LP-18-400-N series protectors exhibit
outstanding RF performance over the entire frequency spectrum
from DC through 6000MHz and the elimination of the extra
connector further reduces return loss, insertion loss and lowers
cost. In addition, its fully weatherized housing meets the IP-67
standard for outdoor as well as indoor installation.
LP-18-400-N Series:
• LP-18-400-NF-X (150W)
N Female connector on one side and EZ-400-X crimp style
interface on the other side - bidirectional
• LP-18-400-NMH-X (150W)
N Male connector on one side and EZ-400-X crimp style
interface on the other side - bidirectional
The LP-18-400-N series protectors install easily onto LMR®-400
cable using the standard CST-400 prep tool and either the
CT-400/300 crimp tool or the HX-4 crimp handle with the Y1719
(0.429”) hex dies.
