Times Microwave Systems LP-DOE-1G, LP-POE-1G and LP-PAE-100 data line surge protectors

Times Microwave Systems has introduced a range of high-performance data line surge protectors.

Proprietary circuitry results in surge let-through voltage on data lines of less than 20 V peak at 3 kA 8 x 20 µs surge test current, and less than 10 V peak at 100 A 10 x 1000 µs surge test current, while complying with extended RFC2544 test methods for data integrity. These difficult tests are conducted on two protection devices separated by 100 m of Cat 5e cable over a broad temperature range measuring throughput, latency, packet jitter and frame loss.

There are three models available. The LP-DOE-1G is designed for 1000base-T ethernet data cables for indoor use, with all data pins protected to chassis ground, while the LP-POE-1G is for 1000base-T PoE systems with all pin pairs protected to chassis ground with up to 60 VDC injected.

The LP-PAE-100 model provides for protection for 100base-T power and ethernet cables with all pins protected to ground. Data pin pairs are (1–2) (3–6) and DC pin pairs are (4–5) (7–8).

The RFC2544 test results for each of these devices are available for download on the Times Microwave Systems website.
