Product Features
Technical Overview
The SPCOAX2 incorporates built-in EFT (Electrical Fast Transient) protection specifically designed to mitigate impulse noise from lightning strikes, a common cause of camera failure in outdoor or exposed installations. Its 1 x BNC receptacle maintains signal integrity while introducing minimal insertion loss, preserving video quality across supported formats.
With dimensions of 1" x 1" and a weight of approximately 75 grams, the protector is exceptionally compact and lightweight, allowing discreet placement near cameras or within junction boxes without adding bulk. This small footprint is ideal for tight spaces in security setups.

Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy the SPCOAX2 in any analog surveillance environment where cameras are exposed to electrical surges, particularly in outdoor, industrial, or high-altitude locations prone to lightning activity. It is recommended for use in pairs—one at the camera end and one at the recorder end—to create a complete protective barrier for both devices.
Common applications include securing perimeter cameras in commercial facilities, protecting traffic monitoring systems along roadways, and safeguarding cameras in remote weather stations. Its TAA compliance also makes it suitable for government and public-sector projects requiring adherence to trade agreements.
Physical Profile
The protector features a durable, compact enclosure measuring 1" in both height and width, with an approximate weight of 75 grams. Its small size facilitates easy integration into existing cable runs or mounting directly onto camera brackets, while the robust construction ensures longevity in varied environmental conditions.

FAQ
What video formats does the SPCOAX2 surge protector support?
The SPCOAX2 supports analog HD formats including TVI (High Definition Transport Video Interface), CVI (High Definition Composite Video Interface), AHD (Analog High Definition), and legacy 960H CVBS (Composite Video Baseband Signal). This compatibility ensures it can protect a wide range of modern and older surveillance cameras using coaxial connections.
How does the built-in EFT protection work?
EFT (Electrical Fast Transient) protection in the SPCOAX2 is designed to suppress impulse noise caused by lightning strikes or other electrical disturbances. It rapidly clamps transient voltages, diverting harmful surges away from connected cameras and recorders to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components, thereby enhancing system reliability in surge-prone environments.
Why is it recommended to use this protector in pairs?
Using two SPCOAX2 protectors—one at the camera and one at the recorder—creates a comprehensive defense by shielding both ends of the coaxial cable. This dual installation guards against surges originating from either direction, such as lightning near the camera or power fluctuations at the recorder, ensuring full protection for the entire video transmission path.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of the SPCOAX2?
The SPCOAX2 measures 1 inch in height and width (25.40 mm each) and weighs approximately 75 grams. This compact and lightweight design allows for easy installation in tight spaces, such as inside camera housings or junction boxes, without adding significant bulk or weight to the setup.
Is the SPCOAX2 compliant with any industry standards?
Yes, the SPCOAX2 complies with IEC 61000-4-5, an international standard for surge immunity testing. This compliance verifies its ability to withstand electrical surges, ensuring reliable performance in environments with potential voltage spikes. Additionally, it is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for government and public-sector projects in the United States.
Where is the SPCOAX2 manufactured, and what does TAA compliance mean?
The SPCOAX2 is manufactured in Taiwan. TAA compliance indicates that it meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, which mandates that products for U.S. federal government procurement come from designated countries like Taiwan. This compliance ensures eligibility for government contracts and public-sector purchases that require adherence to trade agreement regulations.
