The ComNet CopperLine CLESP provides surge protection for Ethernet connections, operating under potentials of high surge, resulting from conditions, such as lighting strikes or power fluctuations. Protection is provided concurrent to the immunity characteristics for continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges (ESD). The CLESP requires the shield of the RJ-45 connectors to be connected to the chassis ground.Main FeaturesPoE Compatible: IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant for PoE and PoE PlusNo additional ground cable is required; the Grounding tab is integral to the protectorTested and certified to EN61000-4-5 and EN55024 surge standardsCompact form-factor saves space in those installations where space may be at a premium.
