Tripp Lite DRS232 Beige surge protector

DRS232 - 340 amps Tripp Lite's DRS232 offers dataline surge suppression for the protection of POS equipment, serial printer spoolers, multiplexers and other network devices using RS232 ports running on unshielded twisted pair (UTP). Convenient RJ45 input and output connections with included 5 inch ethernet patch cable allows convenient in-line placement at the protected device network connection. Surge suppression is handled with balanced arrays of high-speed avalanche diodes that divert excess energies created by electrostatic discharges, faulty wiring or lightning away from network interface connections. Tripp Lite network surge suppressors reduce blown interface cards, garbled transmissions, system lock-ups and hard equipment failure by safely shunting dataline surges to ground. Six inch heavy guage grounding lead connects to designated grounding lugs available on the back panel of most network workstations and pieces of internetworking equipment.
