Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns þ
-
Does this guarantee my TV won't break if lightning hits the dish?
-
While the GC-862BL is designed to absorb and divert high-voltage surges, no protector can guarantee 100% safety against a massive direct strike. It is, however, an essential and effective layer of defense for common induced surges.
-
-
Will this affect my internet speed or 4K signal?
-
With a very low insertion loss of just 1.2 dB, you will likely notice no difference in signal quality or data speed. It is built specifically to pass high-frequency satellite data without degradation.
-
-
Where should I install it?
-
For the best protection, it should be installed as close as possible to where the cable enters the building, or directly at the back of your receiver/modem.
