8-channel patch-panel with surge protection for LAN Gigabit Ethernet

Surge protected patch panel for Gigabit Ethernet networks, built based on 5, 5e and 6th category cabling. It is composed of two PTU-64-ECO modules mounted in the PTU/PTF-6-RACK panel. It is designed for mounting in a 19" Rack cabinet on the front rail. In IP-CCTV installations it can be mounted on the rear rail using LK-MOUNT angle brackets - many NVR's recorders have a built-in LAN switch and all connectors on the back.

The RJ-45 connectors on the front (DEVICE) are protected against surges. The Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports are connected to them using patch cords. The rear LSA connectors are an unprotected side (LINE), where long LAN cables are connected without the use of RJ-45 connectors. This design creates two devices in one: LAN patch panel with RJ-45 sockets and effective surge protection. This solution simplifies the installation, reduces the number of additional elements and reduces costs. To ensure continuity of FTP cable screen, shielded patch cords and metal clamps on PCBs should be used.

The PTU-64 series modules are very high-quality surge protection products with low signal losses. The use of multilayer PCBs and modern components  resulted in compliance with the correct tests for 4x125MHz frequency.

Independent PoE protection circuits eliminate the overvoltages between 1.2 - 3.6 and 4.5 - 7.8 pairs in the LAN cable. This solution protects power supplies of LAN equipment against damage due to lightning surges or uncontrolled voltage increase, for example as a result of damage to the PoE power supply. The solutions used are compatible with each PoE standard, including Hi PoE.

The panel has an additional place to mount two modules of the PTF-64 or PTU-64 series, it allows you to extend the surge protection system at any time up to 16 channels. Ensure proper grounding of the surge protector by connecting the supplied grounding cable to PE line. The optional PTU/PTF-COVER protects PCB from dust, it also provides an additional shield against interference.

The best level of surge protection is obtained by installing surge arresters on two sides of the LAN cable. Multi-channel surge protection at the LAN switch side and one-channel surge protection at the LAN device side - for example PTF-61-ECO/PoE.

The product is designed for LAN installations LAN with all cables and devices placed inside of buildings.
