Introduction
The
DXE-UE-2P
is a weather-resistant, high impact thermoplastic enclosure which is ideal for
outdoor mounting of all types of lightning protectors or other equipment. Its weather-tight design
protects the inside components against rain and directed water spray.
The thermoplastic housing and wire entrance materials used in the enclosure are fire retardant, UV
stabilized and resists degradation from environmental contaminants, chemical fertilizers and
insecticide sprays. The housing can be painted with latex or oil base paints.
Included with the DXE-UE-2P:
Weather-tight 13" x 14" x 4" (exterior) Enclosure
Stainless Steel Hex Washer Head Slotted Sheet Metal #8 x 1/2” Screws (6)
8" x 9.5" x 1/8" Pre-drilled 6061-T6 Aluminum Mounting Plate
Four weather tight coaxial cable feed through couplers, MIN-MAX I.D.: 0.230". - 0.530"
ideal for most RG8U or RG-213 sized coaxial cable
One 2” x 1/2” x 1/8” thick copper strap clamp with two drilled holes
Because this enclosure has many potential applications, no holes have been drilled in the enclosure.
Mounting holes are pre-drilled in the aluminum mounting plate. Four of the six sheet metal screws
are included to secure the mounting plate to the enclosure; the other two sheet metal screws are for
mounting the copper strap clamp to the mounting plate.
The watertight feed-through couplers mount to the top of the case. Drilling or a hole saw is
required. Eleven port openings exist in the bottom. Two are large for conduit coaxial entry/exit, 9
are smaller for coaxial cable, rotor cable, telco lines, etc. The openings are sealed by a foam insert.

A typical application is shown in
Figure 1
. Three 50 Ω coaxial lightning suppressors and one 75Ω
receive protector are mounted to the aluminum plate. A copper strap is bonded to the plate with the
included bonding clamp and runs to a Single Point Ground system.
