OBO Bettermann, the German cable management manufacturer established in 1911, groups its transient and lightning protection range under the TBS segment. Alzab Algharbiyah supplies this complete range to contractors, consultants and facility managers across Saudi Arabia from Dammam, Riyadh and the UAE. The TBS segment covers surge protection devices for AC and DC power, data and network protection, external lightning protection, and earthing and equipotential bonding — four coordinated layers that protect buildings, equipment and people. Explore the full range through the OBO Bettermann segment hub and the wider portfolio.
Surge Protection Devices
Surge protection devices form the first line of the TBS segment, with coordinated types for main distributors, sub-distributors and final circuits. Alzab supplies LightningController units such as the MCF25-NAR-TNC and MCF75, combination arresters, and the V20 series with remote signalling, alongside DC variants including CombiController V50 DC and Surge Controller V20 DC. Dedicated sub-ranges cover AC power supplies, DC power supplies, MCR technology, data technology, transmission and reception units, PV systems, measuring technology and explosion protection.
Data and Network Protection
Data and network protection keeps information systems running when surges travel along signal lines. The range includes plug-in data cable protection, protection for KNX bus cable, LSA-Plus systems and series protection devices, with fine protection for Ethernet networks up to 1 GBit and 10 GBit, combination protection for ISDN and DSL, and coaxial protection for telecommunications, camera systems and serial interfaces. Alzab supports the specification and supply of these components for offices, hospitals and industrial sites in the Kingdom.
External Lightning Protection
External lightning protection carries the lightning current safely from the roof to the ground. Within the TBS segment Alzab supplies air-termination rods such as isFang, insulated lightning protection sets with three-corner fastening, isConAr conductors and arresters in professional and premium finishes, plus down conductors and connection components. For projects that also require reserve power, our Extell UPS systems are commonly specified alongside these components to protect critical electrical loads.
Earthing and Equipotential Bonding
Earthing and equipotential bonding gives every surge a defined path into the ground. The range covers copper-sheathed earth rods, hot-galvanised OMEX earth rods, equipotential busbars on plastic base plates and connection clips for earthing rods to round cables, together with spark gaps and bonding accessories. Correct earthing also supports compliance with Saudi Civil Defense requirements and the international safety standards applied to Alzab projects.
Alzab Algharbiyah's engineering team helps clients in the oil and gas, infrastructure and government sectors select coordinated TBS protection for new builds and upgrades. Because lightning protection, containment and fire safety are specified together, many projects pair this segment with KTS cable support systems and BSS fire protection systems.
