Mobotix MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box

- Surge protection for MOBOTIX IP Cameras
- Protects against surges of up to 4 kV on the PoE network cabling
- For patch cable to patch cable or patch cable to installation cable (MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box-LSA)
- Complete set including mounting supplies
- Weatherproof network connector (IP65) with surge protection of up to 4 kV for MOBOTIX IP cameras; ideal for replacing MX-Patch-Box

Surges are voltages that exceed the allowed voltage range for MOBOTIX IP cameras. The max. voltage for PoE, for example, is 57 V. Surges do not necessarily result in irreparable damages to MOBOTIX IP cameras. Only if the voltage is exceeded by a multiple of the allowed value, or if the surge is present for a longer period of time or even permanently, damages are unavoidable.
Examples for Causes of Surges

- Direct lightning strike into the installation itself or the network cable
- Lightning strike into the power supply or the ground in the vicinity (within a radius of 100 km/62 mi)
- Switching of high loads, especially if network and power lines run side-by-side
