2.1 FEATURES

• Easy to install
2.2 DESCRIPTION
Install these twinax surge protectors on your system cables to
protect IBM 3X and AS/400 devices from harmful electrical damage.
These units are easily installed by direct connection to twinax cables or
devices. The Model 545 uses completely solid state design and
multistage hybrid circuits to shunt all harmful surges to ground. A
separate ground path is provided via a heavy braided wire, which is
connected to the chassis ground of your equipment.
By shunting all threatening voltages to the chassis ground, the
Model 545 ensures the integrity of the data in your network and
protects connected equipment from lightning induced energies, AC
power induction, electrostatic discharges etc. We recommend that
these surge protectors be used for all twinax cable runs that exceed
500 feet. In particularly susceptible environments, we advise using
these on all cable runs, regardless of length.
The Model 545 MF connects directly between an incoming
twinaxial data cable and a workstation's I/O port. The Model 545 MFF
acts as a "T" splitter and provides connections for both incoming and
outgoing twinax cables, as well as the I/O port.
Warning: This product will not provide complete protection should your
equipment or building be subject to a direct lightening hit.
