VCE Coaxial Surge Lightning Protector for Coaxial TV Antenna and Satellite in-Line 75 Ohm 5-2500MHz, 2 Pack Silver

Over the last few months my cable TV service kept turning off with no warning. After much back and forth with the provider, a change of the cable console, and a change of the TV electrical surge suppressor the service continued dropping suddenly as it was before. This ended when I found this cable surge suppressor. I added this to my system and the service stopped dropping suddenly. I must say that I am very happy with the results, and to make things better, this cable suppressor is inexpensive, easy to install, and uses minimal space. Very nice indeed.

it's hard to review a surge protector since I hope I never have to find out if it works as advertised. what I can say is installation is a breeze, and I have noticed no drop in signal or picture quality. it should work best if installed just before a correctly installed grounding block. don't expect this to protect against a direct lightning strike as high voltage will just arc across any protector, but it will help against nearby strikes causing lower voltage surges. having your mast correctly grounded will also assist in dispersing surges and may prolong the life of all your equipment including the surge protector. This surge protector comes in a 2-pack which is handy to keep a spare in the event one does get burned out- they are one time protect disposables after all and you will have no signal until it is replaced or removed.

I learned about these too late. I lost over $8000 worth of electrical equipment due to a lightning strike near my home. Everything that got fried was connected to a surge protected power block. Unfortunately, the lightning strike surge came through the cable modem and transferred it through my ethernet cables.I recommend using these on the incoming cable. I also recommend using the ethernet surge protector on the ethernet cable going to your WiFi router or multiport ethernet junction box.

4 stars overall, 5 stars for price and ease of installation - as actual surge protection is TBD. Purchased and installed the VCE 2-Pack Coaxial Surge Lightning Protector for Cable TV and Satellite (in-line 75 Ohm 5-2500MHz) holding the 2nd protector in reserve. These are NOT waterproof for outdoor use per the mgfr and must be protected from weather. Mgfr product site states "Note: not used for cable modem."Over a bit more than several years, we've sustained two sets of blown out cable modems and routers due to close lightning hits and surges through the coax (broadband/ TV/ Phone service). We're located in an area that experiences big lightning storms throughout the year. After installing the VCE protector NO degradation of the high speed broadband performance (up and download speeds measured before & after VCE install), TV signal quality, or broadband phone service, was noted. Had another gully washer of a storm with rain, hail, lightning and thunder but no surge problems to test out the VCE coaxial surge lightning protector - so we'll have to see how it goes in the future...

Great!

I bought them for 2 oat tv sets

Everything works as expected. Would be happy to purchase again. Thanks for the fast shipping.

I haven really had a damaging power surge yet?

Items were received appearing in high quality and workmanship. A small price to pay for great piece of mind protection.

These are small enough to not get in the way, they look and feel good. Delivery took ages. Hopefully I’ll never know whether they work- if they do, I’ll not know about it- if they don’t, it will be disappointing!

- Not sure if it really works. No idea how to test it.- DTH signal passes through without issue.- Purchased this to mitigate risk of lighting and surge signals. hopefully it never comes to that.

Looks perfect. To judge if it protects from lightning surges, I have to wait for a decent storm.

Difficile d'évaluer ce produit: On espère que la foudre ne tombera jamais sur la maison!Tout ce que je peux dire, il n'y a pas de perte de signal. Le modem-cable est toujours content et j'en ai mis un autre sur l'antenne de la télé et je continue de capter tous les postes locaux.
