Surge Protector EWIMAR PTF-61-ECO/POE – surge arrestor with PoE protection

EWIMAR PTF-61-ECO/POE is a surge protector designed to safeguard network and powered devices from transient overvoltages. The device provides combined protection for data and power conductors and is specifically engineered to be compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) installations. It is intended for use in environments where PoE switches, PoE cameras and access points require protection from electrical surges that can originate from lightning strikes, switching transients or nearby electrical disturbances.

Advantages

The unit offers coordinated protection for both the data pair and the power supply conductors without disrupting PoE functionality. Its compact design allows mounting near network equipment or termination points while maintaining low insertion loss for data transmission. The protector reduces the risk of equipment failure by diverting transient currents to ground and limiting voltage levels on protected lines. The device is suitable for both residential and light commercial network installations where cost-effective surge protection and PoE compatibility are required.

Suitable for

• Protecting PoE network switches and injectors
• Safeguarding PoE IP cameras and video surveillance endpoints
• Protecting wireless access points and outdoor network terminations
• Use in residential, small office and retail network installations

Key specifications

• Protection type: transient overvoltage protection for data and power conductors
• PoE compatibility: designed to maintain PoE power delivery while protecting lines
• Connection: inline/network line insertion suitable for Ethernet cabling
• Performance: low insertion loss to preserve data signal integrity
• Installation: compact form factor for near-equipment mounting or rack/terminal placement

How to use

Install the surge protector in-line with the Ethernet cable feeding the device to be protected: place the protector between the network source and the protected equipment so that both data pairs and the PoE feed pass through the unit. Ensure proper grounding of the protector according to site grounding practices to enable diversion of surge currents. Verify connections and test network link integrity after installation to confirm data transmission and PoE power delivery are operating correctly.

Usage recommendations

For effective protection, mount the protector as close as possible to the equipment being safeguarded and use a short, low-impedance grounding conductor. Do not install the device in place of required lightning protection systems; use it as part of a layered protection strategy. Periodically inspect the protector and connected equipment after significant surge events and replace the unit if protection indicators or performance suggest degradation.
