ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for protecting a coaxial transmission line using a coaxial transmission line surge arrestor and a fusible link connected thereto. The surge arrestor comprising a gas discharge tube having a hollow conductive housing and a center conductor having a longitudinal axis parallel to the direction of signal transmission, the diameter of the center conductor being varied along at least a portion of its length for matching the impedance of the surge arrestor to that of the transmission line. The fusible link comprises a section of coaxial transmission line having a solid copper center conductor electrically connected in series with the surge arrestor.
