Surge protector AXON HSK DATA AXON AIR Net Protector PROFESSIONAL — 120 V, network protection, 0.5 m cable, metal, black

AXON HSK DATA AXON AIR Net Protector PROFESSIONAL is a compact metal-housed surge protection unit intended for 120 V systems and designed to protect 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet equipment and other devices using RJ45 connections. The device is built as a first-stage protector for links with a high risk of energetic interference, with high-strength protective elements that secure each conductor in a four-pair cable and discharge transient overvoltages to earth. Its robust metal housing and interconnected RJ45 shield grounding provide mechanical durability and continuous shielding when used with STP cables. The unit includes a 0.5 m power cable and is suitable for protecting network equipment and small electronics in home or office installations.

Advantages

The AXON AIR Net Protector PROFESSIONAL offers first-stage surge protection specifically tuned for Ethernet transmission lines up to gigabit speed, with protective elements that act on each wire of a four-pair cable. The metal enclosure increases mechanical resistance and provides full shielding for the protective circuit, while the integrated connection of RJ45 shields to the PE protective circuit ensures continuity of cable shielding for STP installations. Compact dimensions and a short 0.5 m power lead make the device easy to place near vulnerable equipment without taking much space.

Suitable for

• Protection of 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet switches, routers and network endpoints
• Overhead teletransmission lines and installations exposed to transient overvoltages
• Network devices using RJ45 connectors with operating voltage up to 150 V
• Home and small office network equipment and sensitive small electronics

Key specifications

• Nominal system voltage: 120 V
• Cable length (power lead): 0.5 m

• Supported data rates: 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet
• Maximum permissible operating voltage on protected line: up to 150 V
• Shield continuity: RJ45 port shields interconnected and tied to protective earth (PE)
• Weight: 160 g

How to use

Install the AXON AIR Net Protector PROFESSIONAL inline with the network cable between the external link and protected equipment, connecting RJ45 plugs to the corresponding ports. Connect the power cable to a compatible 120 V outlet and ensure the device’s protective earth (PE) is properly connected for effective discharge of surges. Use shielded (STP) cabling where shield continuity is required; the device interconnects RJ45 shields to the PE circuit to maintain overall shielding. Position the unit close to the equipment or entry point being protected and avoid placing it in locations exposed to sustained moisture or corrosive environments.

Usage recommendations

Use the AXON AIR Net Protector PROFESSIONAL as the first-stage protection on lines with elevated risk of surge events, such as overhead teletransmission lines or exposed outdoor links. For full protection, combine with appropriate downstream protective devices and ensure correct grounding (PE) continuity. Verify compatibility with the operating voltage (not exceeding 150 V on the protected line) and use STP cabling when maintaining shield continuity is required.
