Tupavco TP303 Outdoor Ethernet Surge Protector for PoE+ Gigabit 1000Mbs

The Outdoor Ethernet Surge Protector is a surge protection device (SPD) designed to safeguard electronic networking equipment from potential damage caused by powerful surges. Inserted inline on an RJ45 CAT6/CAT5/CAT5e cable, this weatherproof (IP44) device can be mounted outdoors, protecting against various threats such as direct lightning strikes, voltage spikes, and PoE overvoltages.

At the core of this surge protector are gas discharge tubes (GDTs) - a technology that overcomes the limitations of diode-based protectors, offering superior energy-handling capabilities. These GDTs are deployed across all 4 pairs (8 wires), ensuring comprehensive protection against surges, whether high or low frequency. The GDT-based surge arrestor provides rigorous spark discharge control, safely dissipating excess voltage through a contained plasma gas.

This Ethernet Surge Suppressor, model TP303, safeguards a wide array of valuable network components, including switches, routers, modems, bridges, repeaters, and other internet service network devices. Its multidirectional design allows the input signal cable to be connected to either side, as the surge protector will guard the networking equipment on the opposite side of the surge occurrence.

For optimal protection, it is recommended to have one surge protector at each end of the RJ45 cable in the network topology. The device features mounting holes, enabling easy installation on walls, network panels, cabinets, or racks using screws (not included).

Boasting a maximum discharge current of 10 KA (8/20μs), the surge protector is capable of handling powerful surges. It supports both PoE Mode A and Mode B, delivering up to 2A of PoE current and a nominal PoE voltage of less than 60V. The protection modes include Line-to-Line and Line-to-Ground, ensuring comprehensive safeguarding against short circuits.

Tested to IEC 61643-21 and IEC61000-4-5 standards, the surge protector features a clamping voltage of 72V for both Line-to-Ground and Line-to-Line scenarios. It operates within a wide temperature range of -40°C (-40°F) to +80°C (+176°F) and has compact dimensions of 78 x 103 x 49 mm, weighing 110 grams.

Investing in this robust and easy-to-install surge protector can be the most cost-effective and reliable solution for safeguarding your entire Ethernet network. With its proven reliability and comprehensive protection features, the Outdoor Ethernet Surge Protector from Tupavco offers peace of mind in the face of potential electrical threats.
