16-channel Gigabit Ethernet LAN protection, PTF-616R-PRO/PoE

16-channel surge protection for Gigabit Ethernet networks, based on structured cabling of category 5, 5e, 6, and 6a. It is built with four PTF-64-PRO modules mounted on the PTU/PTF-6-RACK base. It is installed in a 19" Rack cabinet on the front rail, allowing for easy switching of cables in user networks or on the rear rail using angled LK-MOUNT brackets, in the case of use with IP-CCTV recorders.

The front RJ-45 sockets (DEVICE) serve as the protected side and are connected to the LAN switch ports. The sockets located at the back serve as the unprotected side (LINE), to which long lines of LAN infrastructure are connected. When using PTF series protection, an additional patch connection panel with RJ-45 sockets is usually used. In order to ensure continuous shielding of FTP cables, shielded patch cords should be used. The placement of the sockets on the unprotected side at the back of the protection is determined by the need to ensure high quality transmission parameters and low crosstalk.

The PTF-64 series modules are devices of very high surge and transmission quality. The use of multi-layer PCBs has resulted in compliance with the category 6 cabling standard and successful tests for frequencies of 4 x 250MHz.

Independent PoE protection protects against voltage surges between pairs 1,2 - 3,6 and 4,5 - 7,8. This protects LAN end device power supplies from damage caused by surges, such as lightning strikes or uncontrolled voltage increases, for example due to a PoE power supply failure. The solutions used protect all types of PoE power and allow power transmission in the Hi PoE standard.

Proper grounding of surge protection must be ensured by connecting the included grounding wire to a properly grounded rack cabinet. The optional PTU/PTF-5/6-COVER cover provides protection for circuits and protection connectors against dust, and also serves as an additional shield against interference when there are a large number of panels.

The best level of protection is achieved by using surge protection on both sides of the wires: Multi-channel on the LAN switch side and single on the end device side, for example PTF-61-PRO/PoE.

The product is tested according to categories D1, C2, C1, B2. It is intended for use at the boundaries of LPZ0/LPZ1 zones or higher.
