2.2 DESCRIPTION
LANs are naturally susceptible to a host of lethal transient
voltages, according to the IEEE 802.3 specification (see paragraph
8.7.2). That's why we designed the Model 531 series LAN surge
protectors.
The Model 531 connects directly between incoming ThinNet data
cables and LAN I/O ports. By shunting all threatening voltages to the
chassis ground, the Model 531 ensures the integrity of the data in your
LAN and protects connected equipment from lightning induced
energies, AC power induction, electrostatic discharges and ground
potential differences.
Warning: This product will not provide complete protection should your
equipment or building be subject to a direct lightening hit.
