PTSP Series Data Line Surge Protection

PCCP

The PTSP Series of terminal strip protectors will ensure the reliable operation of networked equipment connected to RS-422, RS-232, Muxes, DDS, Analog Dial-up, ISDN, T1 and most other communication interfaces.

PTSPs 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 PTSP Series devices will guard sensitive data networks against lightning induced surges, AC power interference, electrostatic discharge, and ground loop energies.

Typical applications include: data communications and instrumentation interfaces using RS-422, RS-232, Muxes, CSU/DSU, T1, PLCs, and most other communication interfaces.

When installed on the system I/O ports, PTSPs prevent equipment damage and system errors which are a common result of transient surge energies induced onto the communications interface and ground plane.

PTSPs utilize low capacitance avalanche diode arrays for low loss, high-speed protection. These field-proven circuits offer the most dependable protection available for today’s highly sensitive electronic systems.

Whether you need to protect a single communication line, or an entire installation, Eaton's protectors are an easy, cost-effective solution to overvoltage problems.

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.
