Surge protection for Ethernet lines

December 2010 Electrical Power & Protection

Copa’s NET Protector surge arresters protect Ethernet switches and hubs against surges. The 485 mm enclosure is equipped with up to three eight-way surge protection boards and only requires the space of one vertical module for 24-ports. NET Protector modules are normally installed in the cabinet which houses the hub or switch. They are inserted as a patch panel with surge protection, or as a retrofitted device for patching between the panel and the device to be protected.

With a completely shielded enclosure and 4TP panel for 100 Base T Ethernet, RJ45 connectors are provided on both input and output and standard 1 m fly leads are supplied. Only 1U in height with a depth of 80 mm, they are available in 8, 16 and 24-way formats, and are fitted with eight-way shielded connectors. They offer a 100 Mbps data transmission rate and a response time of less than 1 ns.
