2.2DESCRIPTION
Devices that connect to Category-5 cabling systems are routinely threatened by unwanted electrical energy (lightning, AC power induc- tion, ESD and more). Higher speed devices–such as those operating at 100 Mbps–are especially vulnerable to the effects of these hazards, which can include data loss and hardware damage.
The Patton Model 57x and 58x Series Surge Protectors pro- vide effective surge protection for devices operating in Category-5 Cabling Systems. The Model 57x/58x is specifically designed for point-of-use installation; the Model 57x/58x is designed to be installed at the building entrance. Both models use a multi-stage Silicon Avalanche Diode circuit, and will continue functioning while handling the appropriate IEC 801.5 surges applicable to their use (see the tables in Appendix B). Both the 57x/58x will additionally protect against surges up to and exceeding 2kV/1kA in fail-safe mode.
Models 57x/58x support a wide range of balanced interfaces from RS-422 to 100Base-T4. Highlights include a low insertion loss (less than 0.4dB at 100MHz) and minimal near end cross talk (better than -40 dB at all frequencies up to 100 MHz). Grounding is accomplished via a braided ground strap that provides a separate unit-rack connec- tion. The customer is responsible for ensuring a proper rack to earth ground connection. For proper grounding, the resistance from the sup- plied ground lug to the rack frame ground should be less han 2.5 mil- liohms. Contact Technical Support (see Section 1.1 Service) if further details are needed for this measurement.
Warning: This product will not provide complete protection should your equipment or building be subject to a direct lightning hit.
