Tupavco presents an ethernet surge protector which aims at providing protection against sudden voltage changes. It is inserted inline on an RJ45 CAT6/CAT5/CAT5e cable to protect the sensitive equipment from damages caused by lightning strikes, voltage spikes or over voltages. The Tupavco ethernet surge protector uses gas discharge tube on all the 8 wires. This method harnesses extra voltage in the incoming power and releases it safely. The ethernet surge protector can protect a number of electronic devices such as switch, router, repeater, modem, bridge, etc. The surge protector features mounting flanges on both sides which allow easy mounting to a cabinet, network panel, or rack attaching by screws. The gigabit surge protector features a data rate of Gigabit 10/100/1000 (GbE) without affecting the performance in the local area network. It can allow a single RJ-45 cable to provide data connection and electric power to devices like security camera, VoIP phone, computers and others.

What’s in the Box

• Ethernet Surge Protector Modem

How to install the ethernet surge protector modem

To function, the Ethernet lightning arrestor needs to be correctly grounded. The shortest path must be used to connect the surge protector’s ethernet ground wire (11 Inch – 12 AWG) to earth. The path of least resistance will be taken by excess electricity. The majority of the time, the simplest way to ground a wire is to use a ground busbar that is already grounded on an electrical panel or network rack cabinet. There are additional ways to ground an RJ45 surge protector, including using the grounding block on the breaker panel, a grounding rod, or the terminal of the nearest outlet by attaching the ground wire to the grounded outlet’s centre screw’s circular grounding hole.

Both shielded (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables can be utilized with the lightning arrestor. The box for the arrester is made of cast aluminum. The network surge protector’s metal enclosure can pass shielded current because of its metal construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do Ethernet surge protectors work?
  You can prevent irreversible damage to your Ethernet switch and linked devices using surge protectors. Although surge protectors lengthen the life of your electronics, not all of them function equally. Your electronics can only be adequately protected by a premium surge protector.

• Where do you put an Ethernet surge protector?
  There are a few methods for grounding out that protector, but before you do anything further, double-check that the shielding of the cable is correctly connected on both ends. Remember that the surge protector can be placed anywhere between the network and the camera, so a wall, post, or overhang are all suitable locations for it.

• How do I protect my Ethernet from lightning?
  In order to safeguard electrical networking equipment from harm, an Ethernet Surge Protector is put inline on an RJ45 CAT6/CAT5/CAT5e cable. Direct lightning strikes, voltage spikes, and PoE over voltages are among the strong surges that the device is resistant to.

• Should my router be plugged into a surge protector?
  Your TV, PCs, streaming and gaming gadgets, and any other high-value equipment should all be plugged into a surge protector. The Ethernet Surge Protector, which has a similar appearance to a phone jack box, will serve the same purpose for the Ethernet Cable that must also go to your Router.

• Can lightning affect LAN cable?
  No true “risk” exists because, even if the cable were broken, a broken Ethernet cable cannot harm any connected devices and would only be unreliable at most. Lightning is more likely to damage the switches or gadgets than the wires, plugs, and sockets.

• How do I protect my PoE switch?
  The ideal method is to install two surge protectors for each PoE device. The PoE switch that is closest to the end-point PoE device, which supplies power to the Ethernet connection, must have a surge protector right before it.

• Are some surge protectors better than others?
  The best metric for determining increased protection is a higher joule rating. Ideally, use a surge protector with a joule rating between 200 and

400. A joule rating of at least 1000 is required for sensitive or expensive equipment including computers, displays, and audio/video equipment.

• Can this device be used for phone lines or phone lines with DSL service?
  No, it can’t be used for phone lines with DSL service.

• Can you mount these outside (in the rain)?
  No, it isn’t waterproof therefore it can be mounted on the outside.

• Is it easy to carry?
  Yes, it is small sized and lightweight, therefore, it is easy to carry.
