HIGH SPEED NETWORK PROTECTION
Introducing the Smart Series RJ45-S High Speed Network Protection. Line-induced spikes and voltage surges that could damage the host computer, PLC, or controller are easily suppressed by the RJ45-S. This unit is DIN rail mountable and fits neatly between the hub output and terminals, using two standard RJ connectors for quick and easy connection or disconnection.
Damaging energy is diverted to system earth through fast-acting components, with the earth connection linked via a plug to allow for quick removal or replacement of the device.
The RJ45-S is designed to protect devices connected through network cabling on a Direct Current (DC) supply. While it does not filter, it provides spike and surge protection to maintain optimal data transfer speed. The product relies on a solid earth connection to maximise the efficiency of the protection circuit.
The earth connection is crucial — when a dangerous high-voltage spike or surge is detected, the RJ45-S diverts the voltage safely down to earth. If the surge is too great to fully discharge, the RJ45-S protection circuit absorbs the remaining energy.
In extreme cases, the RJ45-S is designed to sacrifice itself, preventing damage to connected equipment and reducing downtime costs. Replacement of the RJ45-S protection module is simple, fast, and efficient — ensuring your network stays protected with minimal interruption.
