Times Microwave Systems Data Line Surge Protectors

Times Microwave Systems has added to its Times-Protect line of surge protection devices with the Data Line surge protection product family. The range now includes the LP-DOE-1G, LP-POE-1G and LP-PAE-100, which address surge protection for twisted pair cat 5e and cat 6 applications, and offer a high level of data integrity and overvoltage protection.

The company claims the three devices have been tested against extended RFC2544 test methods including difficult tests consisting of two protection devices separated within 100 m of Cat 5 conductors over a broad temperature range. The tests measured throughput, latency, packet jitter, frame loss and back to back.

Product features include: LP-DOE-1G 1000 Base-T (Ethernet data only), suitable for indoor applications with all data pins protected to chassis ground; LP-POE-1G 1000 Base-T (Power over Ethernet) with up to 60 VDC injector and all pin pairs protected to chassis ground; and LP-PAE-100 (Power over Ethernet) 100 Base-T with all pins protected to ground. Data pin pairs are (1-2) (3-6) and DC pin pairs are (4-5) (7-8).
