Description

The AL-CAT5W-4-24 is a multi-port indoor and outdoor lightning surge arrestor, which provides protection for

CAT5 data applications. A single unit protects up to four separate CAT5 lines. This model is fully compatible with

industry-standard 10/100 Base-T Ethernet networks, providing protection to both Ethernet data pairs as well as

the PoE DC power feed. The unit supports both PoE modes A and B for of supplying DC power. Power can be fed

up the CAT5 data pairs, 1-2, 3-6 or using the two unused pairs, 4-5, 7-8.

High-speed semiconductors clamp any voltage, positive or negative on the

wires. The limits are +/- 36 volts on the four cable pairs. The design utilizes

Thyristor diode technology, which has superior power handling capability

compared to TVS or Zener diode based designs. The unit is compatible with

both normal and inverted polarity voltage PoE equipment.

15 Volt and 24 Volt PoE Compatible

Designed to be compatible with 15V and 24V PoE devices, the AL-CAT5W-4-24 is ideal for use with select devices

from Motorola, Ubiquiti, Engenius and Planet as well as other PoE equipment requiring 15V or 24V. Canopy

clusters can also take advantage of the multi-port design.

Note: This protector is not intended for use with standard 48V PoE devices.

The AL-CAT5W-4-24 features a weatherproof ABS enclosure with O-ring gasket and concealed mounting holes. A

ground clamp mounted outside the enclosure 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.
