Transient Voltage Suppressors (Network)

LANs and WANs are vulnerable to lightning induced surges, static and other interference, particularly on long cable runs and also when a network connects different buildings. Severe damage can occur to MAUs, workstations, hubs, bridges and other peripheral equipment that are not adequately protected.,Network protectors are high energy surge and lightning arrestors that are fitted to the network to limit the hazardous energy to safe levels, They have been specifically designed with safety in mind and exhibit wide bandwidth, low loss, low cross talk, low transfer impedance and are easily fitted, requiring only an earth connection for the diverted surge. Lightning barriers should be used on all data cables running outside of a building and located close to the equipment they are to protect.
