The SMCANT-LP Lightning Protector provides surge protection to safeguard expensive electronic equipment. Its N-Female to N-Male bulkhead connectors make it easy to integrate into an existing wireless network without adding cable, and it can be used with or without amplification. Its low insertion loss and superior RF performance make the SMCANT-LP ideal for 802.11b/g wireless LAN. Priced at $69.99, both the SMCANT-DIFP11 and the SMCANT-LP provide cost-effective solutions for strengthening 802.11b and 802.11b/g wireless networks.
