Ethernet Surge Protector Gen 2

Ethernet to Ethernet Grounded ESD Protection

The ETH-SP-G2 is engineered to protect any Power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE) or non‑PoE device with connection speeds of up to 1 Gbps.

This in-line surge protector is suitable for use with the Ubiquiti airFiber.

From the airFiber User Guide:

Note: For added protection, we recommend installing two GigE PoE surge protectors. Install the first surge protector within one meter of the airFiber DATA port, and install the second surge protector at the ingress point of the location housing the wired network equipment.

This surge protector is used in-line on a Cat5/Cat5e connection, and is used to help protect:

• ethernet interface damage in the event of nearby lightning storms, and
• building damage in the event of a direct lightning strike where a current surge flows down the ethernet cable.
