PCCP Series Data Line Surge Protection

The PCCP Series of data communication line surge protectors will ensure the reliable operation of coaxial or twinaxial based networked equipment running IBM 3270, AS400, Ethernet, satellite/cable/closed circuit TV and most other wideband, communication interfaces.

PCCPs Offer:

• State-of-the-art, avalanche diode and thyristor technology.
• Compact, in-line installation.
• High-speed, high-energy handling capability.
• Low shunt capacitance to reduce signal loss.

You Receive:

• Affordable, superior, equipment protection.
• Improved reliability and maximized system up-time.
• Protection at the interface card.
• Adaptability to most industry applications.

The PCCP Series devices guard sensitive data networks against lightning induced surges, AC power interference, electrostatic discharge and ground loop energies. Typical applications include: CCTV cameras, residential cable installations, terminals, file servers, repeaters and mainframes using Ethernet and most other communication applications.

High-speed avalanche diode technology is used in conjunction with low capacitance circuitry, enabling the protectors to function at a much greater bandwidth without causing signal degradation. This, in combination with their small size, makes the PCCP exceedingly versatile.

Standard units protect both center conductor(s) and shield circuits. A separate grounding wire on all units provides an isolation path to ground without adding an additional ground connection to the shield or network ground point.

PCCPs can also be specially configured to accommodate other standard connector interfaces (F, N, BNC, etc.). A wide selection of clamping voltages is available.

Installation

To install, insert the protector in series between the incoming communication line and the I/O port of the equipment to be protected. The protector ground wire must be connected to the metal chassis of the equipment being protected. Units should be installed at both ends of the data cable for the most effective protection.
