Protection of low voltage lines

Weidmuller surge protection products guard network components against transients, surges, and spikes that are often introduced into low voltage systems. The need to protect all susceptible low-voltage routes like cable, telephone/data lines from surges, spikes, and transients is often overlooked. The solutions provided by Weidmuller help to protect the low voltage lines to block transients from entering into your system.

VARITECTOR Ethernet surge protection VDATA CAT5e

Protect data interfaces effectively against overvoltages​

Data interfaces are extremely sensitive. So they must be particularly well protected against overvoltages. At the same time, it is essential to ensure there is no negative influence of the protective circuitry on the data transmission.

The new VDATA CAT5e surge protection module has been specially developed to reliably protect CAT5e local area networks (LAN) against surges The powerful and fast-responding device has minimal attenuation and meet all requirements according to IEC 61643-21. Costly surge damage – e.g. to Ethernet nodes – is prevented without reducing transmission and data quality.
