BCS-ZIP ethernet-overspanningsbeveiliging voor PoE en Gigabit-LAN – tot 90 W, 2 kA, aluminium behuizing

With a response time under 1 nanosecond, the BCS-ZIP Ethernet surge protector stops destructive voltage spikes before they can reach your network equipment. It safeguards Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) lines up to 90W, making it essential for protecting access points, IP cameras, and other powered devices in harsh electrical environments.

Overview

The BCS-ZIP is a data line surge protector designed for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks. It connects via two RJ-45 ports (input and output) and shields all four twisted pairs using a combination of Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) and Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes. Its aluminum housing provides durability and effective heat dissipation, while the screw terminal grounding ensures a secure connection to earth.

What stands out

• Comprehensive protection for all 8 wires (4 pairs) of Ethernet cabling.
• Compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE standards, supporting power levels up to 90W.
• Ultra-fast response time of <1 ns minimizes risk to connected devices.
• Low insertion loss (<0.3 dB) ensures signal integrity for high-speed data transmission.
• Wall-mountable inline design simplifies installation in server rooms, offices, or home networks.
