4-Port (non-POE) Gigabit SPD unit protects critical Ethernet network devices from lethal lightning strikes, electronic static discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transient bursts (EFT/B). It is typically placed in-between connecting network cables and central network and controller devices. It comes in a 4-Port (non-POE) RJ45 configuration. If more ports are required, install multiple units for redundancy. Each unit needs to be grounded by at least a 12 AWG ground wire to redirect excessive current.
