2.2 DESCRIPTION
Devices that connect to Category-5 cabling systems are routinely
threatened by unwanted electrical energy (lightning, AC power
induction, ESD and more). Higher speed devices–such as those
operating at 100 Mbps–are especially vulnerable to the effects of these
hazards, which can include data loss and hardware damage.
The Patton Model 571 and 581 Series Surge Protectors
provide
effective surge protection for devices operating in Category-5 Cabling
Systems. The Model 571 is specifically designed for point-of-use
installation; the Model 581 is designed to be installed at the building
entrance. Both models use a multi-stage Silicon Avalanche Diode
circuit, and will continue functioning while handling the appropriate IEC
801.5 surges applicable to their use (see the tables in Appendix B).
Both the 571 and 581 will additionally protect against surges up to and
exceeding 2kV/1kA in fail-safe mode.
Models 571 and 581 support a wide range of balanced interfaces
running over 4 wires. Highlights include a low insertion loss (less than
0.4dB at 100MHz) and minimal near end cross talk (greater than -43
dB at all frequencies up to 100 MHz). Grounding is accomplished via an
external ground strap that provides a separate unit-ground to chassis-
ground connection.
Warning:
This product will not provide complete protection
should your equipment or building be subject to a direct
lightning hit.
