The Newmar Power 072-0003-0, marketed as the Attwood Deluxe Fastener Kit, is a ground reinforcement component designed to establish an effective RF ground for marine applications. This product facilitates a noise-free RF ground by creating direct electrical contact with the surrounding water outside a vessel's hull. Its porous copper construction is engineered to maximize the contact area, which is crucial for efficient grounding. The kit includes silicon bronze hardware for installation. It is suitable for IT professionals and marine system integrators who require reliable RF grounding to mitigate noise in onboard electronic systems. This component addresses the challenge of achieving a stable ground plane in a marine environment, which can be critical for the performance of communication and navigation equipment. It is not intended for use in lightning protection systems.
The primary function is to provide an excellent noise-free RF ground by establishing direct electrical contact with the water outside a vessel's hull. This helps in mitigating RF noise in marine electronic systems.
The ground plate features porous copper construction, designed to magnify the contact area with water. The kit also includes silicon bronze hardware for installation.
No, the product description explicitly states that it is not intended for lightning protection applications.
The product is available in various models: 8A (8 x 2.5 x 0.5 inches, 20 sq. ft. ground area), 12C (12 x 3 x 0.5 inches, 40 sq. ft. ground area), and 18E (18 x 6 x 0.5 inches, 100 sq. ft. ground area).
