CAT5 Network Transient Protection - PWNTP24 image

Eaton CAT5 Network Transient Protection - PWNTP24

The PWNTP24 has been designed to provide transient protection for multi-port CAT5 network devices such as hubs, routers and other arrays (individual ports can be used to protect individual pieces of equipment). The unit protects only pairs 1 / 2 and 3 / 6, allowing non-network use for the remaining pairs such as telephone, video, intercom, etc.

The device provides protection by providing a shunt path to earth for surges and electro static discharge. When an abnormal voltage appears, the circuit switches on and diverts the surge to earth. Normal network traffic is unaffected as the device only operates during a surge event.

The unique mounting system allows mounting in many different modes to suit crowded racks. Even if no rack space exists, the unit may be mounted externally on the front or rear of the rack. For horizontal mounting, the unit requires a sing 1RU (44mm) rack space for installation. For vertical mounting, the unit requires 3RU (132mm) of rack space. The unit may also be flush mounted to either side of a rack, cabinet or trolley.
