Ethernet Surge Protector Gen 2 (ETH-SP-G2)
Overview
The Ethernet Surge Protector Gen 2 (ETH-SP-G2) is a cost-effective solution for protecting outdoor Ethernet devices. Specifically, it guards against damaging electrostatic discharge and surges. Furthermore, it adds an essential layer of protection to any network installation.
Additionally, all Ubiquiti airMAX devices already include robust ESD protection. However, adding the ETH-SP-G2 provides extra security for outdoor equipment. Moreover, it helps meet certain local code requirements for professional installations.
Key Protection Features
Gigabit Speed Support
The ETH-SP-G2 is engineered to protect Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices. In addition, it supports non-PoE equipment with equal efficiency. Specifically, it handles connection speeds of up to 1 Gbps without performance degradation. Consequently, it is fully compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbps networks.
Dual Surge-Protected Ports
Two passive, surge-protected RJ45 connections are built into the unit. Therefore, maximum equipment compatibility is ensured. Furthermore, the compact design allows flexible placement in tight spaces.
Installation Benefits
Plug-and-Play Setup
The ETH-SP-G2 was designed for fast, straightforward installation. Specifically, the process requires only four simple steps:
-
Attach the ETH-SP-G2 to a grounded pole
-
Drill a pilot hole into the pole
-
Fasten the ground screw
-
Connect the Ethernet cables
Thus, technicians can deploy protection quickly without complex tools.
Flexible Mounting Options
Pole mounting is supported with a metal strap or cable tie. Alternatively, wall mounting is available using two screws and an optional drain wire. Moreover, the grounding point accepts multiple connection methods for different environments.
