Industrial Ethernet Surge Protectors
Prevent Lightning and Ground Loop Damage 

Ottawa, IL - When a voltage surge disrupts data in your office, you take a coffee break and check your email later.  But when surges disrupt data on the plant floor, you choke down the last bit of coffee and run to fix the problem. The new Industrial Ethernet Surge Protector from B&B Electronics prevents these emergencies by protecting equipment from transient surges. 

Any Ethernet port connected to a network is a target for surges.  Model IASP1P is a single port Ethernet Surge Protector that protects eight lines of Ethernet Cat 5 cabling for10BaseT or 100BaseTX LAN connections. 

The unit Installs in seconds with a pair of RJ-45 jacks, and its low capacitance design doesn't degrade signals as they pass through.  The space saving design allows for panel or DIN rail mount applications, and three grounding terminals allow users to daisy-chain multiple units in a single cabinet.

The IASP1P is fully compatible with Industrial Bus Protocols like Modbus/TCP, Ethernet IP, and Foundation Fieldbus HSE (High Speed Ethernet).  

The B&B Electronics Model IASP1P is $69.95 direct from B&B Electronics, 707 Dayton Rd., Ottawa, IL 61350.  Phone 815-433-5100 or visit www.bb-elec.com.
