Description

Cisco 4G Lightning Arrestor (4G-ACC-OUT-LA)

The Cisco 4G Lightning Arrestor (4G-ACC-OUT-LA) delivers essential safety protection for both users and wireless equipment by diverting harmful over‑voltage transients away from outdoor antennas and coaxial cables and safely to ground. In mild conditions, these transients can introduce interference, degrade signal quality, and reduce overall network performance. In more extreme cases, they can damage sensitive radios, amplifiers, and connectors. This arrestor is engineered to shield 4G/LTE deployments from sudden electrical events, helping sustain dependable connectivity in outdoor environments. Built to meet demanding industrial and enterprise use, the 4G-ACC-OUT-LA combines robust electrical protection with simple installation, enabling you to safeguard critical wireless links without sacrificing performance. By integrating this arrestor into your 4G antenna system, you enhance system uptime, minimize maintenance costs, and extend the lifespan of expensive outdoor gear in regions prone to lightning, static buildup, or electrical disturbances.

  • Protects critical wireless equipment: Shunts dangerous voltage transients away from radios, amplifiers, and coax, reducing the likelihood of internal damage and costly downtime.
  • Interference mitigation: By diverting transient energy before it reaches the RF path, it lessens interference that can cause flickering signals, retries, and dropped connections in busy 4G networks.
  • Outdoor-rated durability: Designed for harsh outdoor conditions with weather-resistant construction, ensuring reliable operation in rain, dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations.
  • Easy integration and retrofit: Fits standard outdoor antenna installations and coax runs, enabling straightforward upgrades to existing 4G/LTE setups without major repaving or rewiring.
  • Cisco reliability and support: Backed by Cisco’s engineering expertise and robust support ecosystem for peace of mind with enterprise-grade protection.

Technical Details of Cisco 4G Lightning Arrestor

Technical specifications are typically published in the vendor’s product listings and distributor portals. For Cisco’s 4G Lightning Arrestor (4G-ACC-OUT-LA), exact figures such as electrical rating, surge protection level, grounding requirements, and enclosure materials are available through official Cisco documentation and the distributor’s specifications page. To obtain the precise UPC/SKU-based details, consult the ec.synnex.com specifications for this product using the appropriate SKU or UPC. This section highlights the role of the device in protecting outdoor wireless systems and emphasizes the importance of selecting a protector that matches your antenna, coax, and grounding practices. While the core function remains consistent—diverting transient energy to ground—the optimal configuration depends on your installation environment and network topology. Users should refer to the product’s official datasheet for detailed ratings and installation prerequisites to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and performance expectations.

How to Install Cisco 4G Lightning Arrestor

  • Plan the installation by identifying a proper ground point and ensuring the site complies with local electrical codes for outdoor grounding and surge protection.
  • Power down all connected equipment and disconnect power or signal sources before handling coax and mounting hardware to avoid accidental damage or shock.
  • Mount the arrestor as close to the outdoor antenna feed as practicable, using weatherproof mounting hardware to minimize exposure and maintain a clean, secure coax run.
  • Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the input port of the arrestor, then route the output port to the radio or network device, ensuring tight, corrosion-resistant connections and proper impedance matching.
  • Bond the arrestor’s grounding terminal to the building ground or an approved grounding electrode system, and verify all connections are sealed against moisture. After installation, test the system to confirm the antenna signal path remains intact and there is no unexpected degradation in performance.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is a 4G Lightning Arrestor and why is it important? A 4G lightning arrestor is a protective device designed to shunt transient over‑voltages, such as those caused by lightning strikes or electrical faults, away from outdoor wireless equipment. By safeguarding antennas and coax, it helps maintain signal integrity, reduces the risk of equipment damage, and improves network reliability in outdoor deployments.
  • Will the Cisco 4G Lightning Arrestor work with my outdoor 4G antenna? The arrestor is designed for common outdoor 4G/LTE antenna installations and can be integrated into typical coaxial feed paths. For best results, verify compatibility with your specific antenna model, coax type, and radio input specifications using the official product documentation or distributor specifications.
  • How does this arrestor impact signal quality? By diverting transient energy away from the RF path, it minimizes transient-induced noise and interference, which can otherwise manifest as signal drops, increased error rates, or reduced throughput during storms or electrical disturbances.
  • Do I need professional installation? While installation can be straightforward for experienced technicians, grounding and surge-protection work should adhere to local electrical codes. If you’re unsure, hire a qualified installer to ensure proper grounding, mounting, and seal integrity.
  • What maintenance is required for the 4G Lightning Arrestor? Generally minimal. Periodically inspect for signs of corrosion, loose connections, or seal compromise due to weathering. Replace any worn components and re-test the system to confirm continued protection and performance.
