Surge Protector AXON Net Protector PROFESSIONAL — Black, Metal, 4 V, 0.5 m cable, 95 mm width

AXON Net Protector PROFESSIONAL — Black, Metal, 4 V, 0.5 m cable, 95 mm width is a compact network surge protection device in a metal housing, designed to protect Ethernet equipment from pulse surges on twisted-pair network lines. It is suitable for protecting modems, routers, network cards and other Ethernet devices that use RJ45 connectors. The device supports Ethernet throughputs up to 1 Gb/s and uses fast semiconductor components to clamp transient overvoltages and direct surge energy to earth via the PE conductor. The PROFESSIONAL variant features a durable metal enclosure and shielded RJ45 jacks for enhanced mechanical strength and improved overall shielding of the protection path.

Advantages

The metal housing improves mechanical resistance and contributes to better electromagnetic shielding compared with plastic enclosures, while shielded RJ45 connectors help maintain cable screening continuity. Semiconductor-based protection components provide rapid response to pulse surges occurring between any pairs in the 4-pair cable, reducing the risk of damage to connected network equipment. The unit's compact 95 mm width and 0.5 m integrated cable make it suitable for desk or rack mounting where space is limited.

Suitable for

• Protecting routers, modems and switches in office or home networks
• Safeguarding network interface cards and servers from pulse surges
• Use in rack-mounted or desk-mounted network installations requiring single-point surge protection
• Shielded network lines where continuity of screening is required

Key specifications

• Nominal input voltage: 4 V
• Cable length: 0.5 m (integrated cable)
• Throughput: supports Ethernet up to 1 Gb/s
• Housing: metal, black finish
• Connectors: shielded RJ45 jacks for twisted-pair cable
• Width: 95 mm
• Weight: 160 g
• Protection principle: semiconductor clamping with discharge to earth via PE conductor

How to use

Install the AXON Net Protector PROFESSIONAL in-line with the Ethernet cable by connecting the incoming network cable to the input RJ45 and the protected cable to the output RJ45, or place it at the single-point entry of the network line to the protected equipment. Ensure the device is connected to a functional protective earth (PE) conductor so surge energy can be safely discharged. Place the device where the integrated 0.5 m cable and 95 mm width fit the available space; the metal housing allows mounting on desk surfaces or within equipment racks with appropriate fixation if required. Verify link integrity and network throughput after installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable surge protection, connect the device to a correctly wired grounding system and use shielded twisted-pair cables when the environment requires cable screening. Do not rely on the device as the sole protection measure for very high-energy lightning strikes; combine it with building-level lightning protection where necessary. Periodically inspect the protector and grounding connections for signs of damage or corrosion and replace the unit if it has been exposed to a significant surge event.
