Description

The Hyperlink CAT5 three-stage multi-port Lightning Protector provides superior lightning and surge protection

for both indoor and outdoor 10/100 Base-T networks. Up to four separate CAT5 lines can be protected by a single

unit. In addition, the unit is compatible with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices. Integral to the design is

protection for the two Ethernet data pairs and the PoE DC power feed.

In the data path, the first stage of protection is 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 dual low pass filter and the final

stage is a triple array of bi-directional clamping diodes. The unit supports normal and reverse polarity PoE.

Failsafe Architecture

The Advantage of the AL-CAT5HPW-4 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.

The AL-CATHPW-4 CAT5 Lightning Protector is compatible with equipment

with or without Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality. A ground clamp

provides a tie point for earth ground. For maximum protection from

lightning on long cable runs, two units can be used, one at each end of the

cable.
