The

HGLN-CAT5-HP 3-stage lightning protector provides superior lightning

and surge protection for indoor and outdoor 10/100 Base-T Ethernet

networks. Also compatible with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices, this

unit provides protection to both Ethernet data pairs as well as the PoE

DC power feed.

In the data path, the first stage is comprised of a differential gas

discharge tube. Stage two is a pair of current limiting series

resistors and the final stage is a high speed, low capacitance diode

clamp array. In the power path, the first stage is comprised of a

differential gas discharge tube. Stage two is a pair of filter

inductors and the final stage is a pair of bi-directional clamping

diodes.

Cisco Compatible

This lightning surge protector is compatible with Cisco legacy network

appliance products like Access Points, DC Injectors and other equipment

supporting reverse polarity PoE pinouts.

EMI Noise Suppression

The HGLN-CAT5-HP features shielded RJ45 jacks. This along with the

HGLN-CAT5-HP's metal housing helps reduce the effects of EMI

interference.

Failsafe Architecture

The Advantage of the HGLN-CAT5-HP three stage surge protector design is

the added level of protection due to its large power rating and safety

due to its failsafe architecture. In the event of a catastrophic surge

event, the series resistors will fuse and the shunt diodes will short.

This will safely disconnect the line from the datacom equipment.

Hyperlink's CAT5 Lightning Protector is compatible with Wireless Access

Points, Access Servers and Outdoor Routers that support

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). A ground lug and terminal is provided

directly on the lightning protector housing, providing superior

grounding. A second ground and terminal is provided for strapping

multiple units together.

For maximum protection from lightning on long cable runs, two

HGLN-CAT5-HP's can be used -one at each end of the cable. Most PoE

capable equipment is not protected from surges on it's CAT5 cable.
