CITEL CX Series – Coaxial Surge Protection with Gas Tube + Diode Technology
Fast Response | Low Clamping Voltage | Sensitive RF & Data Equipment Protection
The CITEL CX Series is a high-performance line of coaxial surge protection devices combining gas discharge tube (GDT) and high-speed diode technology to deliver superior protection for low-voltage, high-frequency communication systems. Engineered for fast, precise suppression of transient overvoltages, the CX Series is ideal for protecting sensitive RF, video, and data transmission equipment without degrading signal quality.
The GDT handles high surge energy, while the diode provides ultra-fast response and low clamping voltage, ensuring minimal let-through to connected devices. This makes the CX Series a preferred solution for base stations, video surveillance, telemetry, and other low-signal applications where protection and performance are equally critical.
