2.2 DESCRIPTION
The potential threats to your Token Ring network are vast:
lightning, AC power induction, electrostatic discharge, ground potential
differences, EMI/RFI interference and more. The Patton Model 532S
has been designed to greatly reduce these risks. Just attach one unit
to each of your 802.5 Token Ring devices and rest easy.
The Model 532S connects directly between your shielded or
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cables and respective I/O ports.
By shunting all threatening voltages to the chassis ground, the Model
532S insures the integrity of the data in your LAN and protects
connected equipment from damage. Using a solid state design and
sophisticated multistage hybrid circuits, these units can operate at
speeds of 4 or 16 Mbps. Grounding is accomplished via an external
ground strap that provides a separate unit-ground to chassis-ground
connection. In addition, the wire shield is connected directly to chassis
ground (when shielded modular plugs are used).
Warning: This product will not provide complete protection should your
equipment or building be subject to a direct lightning hit.
