TV Antenna Lightning Surge Suppressor
TV Antenna Lightning Surge Suppressor
Protects electrical devices by limiting potentially damaging electrical surges.
About This Item
- Protects Electronic Equipment: Safeguards TVs, set-top boxes, and other electronics from lightning and electrical surges.
- Additional Layer of Protection: Provides added security for outdoor antenna installations, especially when grounding is not installed.
- High Surge Tolerance: Can withstand electrical surges up to 6kV/3Ka, ensuring robust protection for your devices.
- Minimal Signal Loss: Designed with negligible signal loss (less than 0.2dB) to maintain signal and picture quality.
- Suppresses Transient Voltage: Effectively suppresses transient voltage surges and spikes on coaxial cable networks before they can cause damage.
- Note: This product is a surge suppressor, not a lightning rod. It does not replace proper grounding and will not channel lightning to the earth to protect people or structures from injury or fire.

Product Information
Overview
The Channel Master TV Antenna Lightning Surge Suppressor is designed to reduce the chances of damage to electronic equipment caused by lightning and electrical surges. Channel Master always recommends proper grounding of an outdoor antenna but in instances where a grounding solution was not installed, the TV Antenna Lightning Surge Suppressor provides an added layer of protection to help reduce electronic equipment damage caused by lightning and electrical surges.
Reduce electrical & lightning surge damage to electronic devices connected to your coaxial cable including television’s, set top boxes, and other electronics equipment in your TV antenna setup by simply installing the coaxial surge suppressor in line prior to connecting the coaxial cable to your electronic equipment. The TV Antenna Lightning Surge Suppressor is designed to withstand electrical surges up to 6kV/3Ka. Primarily designed to be used in TV antenna installations the TV Antenna Lightning Surge Suppressor provides the same level of surge suppression in other coaxial installations such as Cable TV, Broadband Cable Internet, and Satellite TV systems. The TV Antenna Lightning Surge Suppressor works by suppressing transient voltage surges and spikes on a coaxial cable network prior to them reaching and damaging expensive equipment such as televisions, set top boxes, DVR’s and other electronic equipment connected to the coaxial cable infrastructure. The TV Antenna Lightning Surge Suppressor was designed with negligible signal loss (less than 0.2dB) when the signal passes through it preventing degradation to your signal or picture quality.
*This product is designed as a surge suppressor. It is not a lightning rod, does not replace proper grounding, and will not channel lightning to the earth to protect people or structures from injury or fire.
Specifications
It was very easy to install and priced right. Shipped quickly, but USPS sent it from PHX through both Memphis and Nashville, plus to GA before it sat two days in the Greenville/Asheville combined distribution center. Didn't hurt reception at all. Low on the roof of a 6-story C.O. with lightning rods, but wanted to be safe.
Got this lightning suppressor to protect my equipment, installation is real easy, nice price to pay and received it quick in the mail. Hope not have to use it but Incase then it is there for great insurance. I’ve owned other Channel Master products in the past and the quality is non better along with the service, always willing to help and answer all questions I have asked when deciding what to buy. Thanks for all what you all do.
Hope to never have to use this, but gives me peace of mind to be protected, thanks Channel Master
Installed easily onto the attic side of a coax ground block. There didn't seem to be much if any difference signal wise with or without the suppresser. I had a coax TV cable open up previously where a barrel connector coupled two cables together. Not sure if that was the result of lightning, but since I live in FL I decided to add a suppresser to my system after replacing the two piece downlead with a single run of RG6. The antenna mast is also grounded, so I'm hoping that if/when lightning strikes, all will be OK.
Installed it a little downstream from the antenna but before the attic. I've seen a cable explode from lightning and it seems wise to keep that out of the attic.
