Model’s 57x and 58x surge protectors are easy to install and are designed to operate transparently to your network. This section describes cohnnection procedures for both models.

3.1 PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

Both Models 57x and 58x protect all eight pins on the modular RJ-45 Cat-5 interface, and work in environments with data rates up to 100 Mbps. The following descriptions will give you a general guideline for installing the units in your Cat-5 environment.

3.1.1 POINT-OF-USE APPLICATION (MODEL 57x)

The Model 57x is designed for installation on LAN equipment in a typical office environment, as in Figure 1, below. For best results, the Model 57x should be connected as close as possible to the communi- cation port of the device to be protected.

Also, the flat braided grounding wire(s) on the Model 57x should be attached to the grounded metal frame of the device being protect- ed. If it is not possible to attach it to the equipment being protected, contact Patton Technical Support (See Section 1.1).

3.1.2 BARRIER APPLICATION (MODEL 58x)

The Model 58x is a more robust protector than the Model 57x, and is designed for use as a barrier protector on LAN equipment in campus networks. Applications include: cable runs between buildings; cable runs between floors on multi-story structures; and as a higher capacity replacement for the Model 57x.

The Model 58x is also well suited for use in severe lightning areas, heavy industrial environments, and situations where heavy machinery is in the direct vicinity of sensitive LAN equipment and cabling. Figure 2 (below) shows a typical application for the Model 58x. For best results, the braided grounding strap(s) on the Model 58x should be attached to the grounded metal frame of the device being protected. When installation is made at a barrier, such as an external wall, the braided strap must be connected to a nearby electrical ground. If a nearby electrical ground cannot be located, contact Patton Technical Support (See Section 1.1).
