Custom Wired Connectivity Product Experts
We offer a variety of capacity options that can be deployed in multiples for high pair count applications. Circa Building Entrance Terminals (BETs) are both rack and wall-mountable. Remember to install a suitable protector on both ends of every exposed line leading into your telecommunications and networking equipment.
5-PIN SURGE PROTECTION MODULE
Electrical surges can travel along copper lines about one foot per nanosecond. Before your next installation, survey the equipment you are assigned to protect and you’ll find a need for faster reacting solid-state modules. The 3-5 nanosecond clamp-down speed of the solid-state modules provides protection from surges as low as 30 volts for digital switches, data transmission and security devices.
Features & Benefits:
- Gas tube
- Solid state
- CAT5E (Enhanced)
- Continuity
- Specialty
