Data line surge suppressors
for comprehensive network and PC system
protection
|
Data line surges make up an overwhelming
majority of all surge induced damages where the
equipment was thought to be already protected but
had a "back door" such as a modem line
unprotected. Network interface cards, in
particular, can be destroyed by relatively mild
spikes.
According to Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3),
non-AC network electrical hazards include: Direct
contact between components and power or lightning
circuits, static charge buildup on cables and
component, high-energy transients coupled onto
the local cabling system (those induced by other
cables which are installed in the general
proximity of network cables or lightning within a
mile radius) and potential differences (even from
building to building, between safety grounds to
which components are connected.)
