Gigabit Ethernet lightning and surge protectors

Nov. 19, 2019
Robust RJ45 surge protectors from L-com provide effective protection against electrical transient surges that are generated by both external lightning events and by internal switching events.

Infinite Electronics brand L-com, a manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, has introduced a new line of Gigabit Ethernet lightning and surge protectors designed to protect valuable communications equipment from power surges and indirect lightning strikes.

L-com says its LPXTRJ45-GBPOE-series surge protectors utilize state-of-the-art GDT, SASD technology to protect critical equipment in 10/100/1000Base-T protocol data networks, while remaining transparent to data throughput and passing DC power through. Additionally, the new surge protectors support PoE (IEEE 802.3af), PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) and PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) Power over Ethernet applications.

Dan Rebeck, product line manager for L-com, comments, "The LPXTRJ45-GBPOE-series surge protectors offer high levels of surge protection by utilizing proprietary surge technology that responds quickly to damaging power surges and indirect lightning strikes. In addition to offering support for fast Gigabit Ethernet speeds, these new surge protectors also support a variety of PoE applications."

The company says its robust RJ45 surge protectors provide effective protection against electrical transient surges that are generated by both external lightning events and by internal switching events. The units also support long-term system reliability by safely shunting high amounts of transient energy while maintaining a very low clamping voltage.

L-com's new Gigabit Ethernet, PoE lightning and surge protectors are in-stock and available for immediate shipment. Learn more about the products.
