L-com develops data line surge protectors

May 7, 2009--L-com's HGLN-CAT5J surge protector is compatible with industry-standard 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices and 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 modes A and B of the 802.3af standard for supplying DC power.

The AL-D4W-DP (pictured) is a high performance lightning protector designed to provide superior protection of DSL and telephone lines from transients or surges caused by lightning strikes. Like the HGLN-CAT5J, this protector features Thyristor diode technology, which which is designed for superior power handling capability compared to TVS or Zener diode-based designs. The unit will protect up to four signal pairs.
