2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 51X Series is built to answer the question of how
to provide transient protection for multiple RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485
ports spaced closely together on a twisted pair terminal server. It is a
very compact box that houses 4, 6, 8, or 12 surge protectors in a high-
density array. Matching input and output ports on the front and rear
panels allow the Model 51X Series to conveniently connect in-line with
each port on your terminal server.
All versions of the Model 51X support data rates of up to 230 kbps.
Harmful data line transients on the hub ports are diverted directly to
chassis ground through the use of a solid state hybrid circuit. The
Model 51X is able to handle repeated surges up to 1.5KW without a
degradation in performance. Most importantly, the Model 51X protects
transparently and will not slow down your network applications.
Warning—Should your equipment or building be subject to a direct
lightening strike, this product will not provide complete protection.
