Take these 4 steps to install your Patton Model 56X.
Note: Make sure you follow the installation instructions exactly.
If the suppressor is improperly installed, the current-limiting
feature could be rendered inoperable.
1.
Disconnect the twisted pair network cables from your hub.
2.
Connect your network cables to an input port on your Model
56X. Since the Model 56X provides bidirectional protection,
the front or rear ports can be used as the input from your
network.
3.
Using the RJ-45 cables provided, connect each of the output
ports to an input port of your hub. Note that the 56X features
a straight through design. Data entering the hub protector at
an RJ-45 input will leave the protector at the RJ-45 output that
is located directly behind it.
4.
Connect the braided metal strap on the Model 56X to a nearby
chassis ground. In industrial applications, the ground strap
can be removed from the terminal post to allow alternative
ground connections to be added. If you are not sure of the
proper grounding for your Model 56X, please contact Patton

at both ends of your 10Base-T ports. For the best products to meet
