Clearline 12-00974 Network Power Protector

Protects fast gigabit ethernet LAN equipment such as hubs, switches and network interface cards from induced lightning and electrostatic discharge. The device is designed for indoor or outdoor use, inside a weatherproof enclosure.

• Power over Ethernet (POE)
• All 8 lines protected
• Each pair supports 250 Mbits/s
• Negligible insertion loss
• Compatible to 100Base-T and 1000Base-T
• Compliant to IEEE 802.3u and IEEE 802.3 ab/af

Power over Ethernet (POE) is a technology that lets network cables carry electrical power. For example, a digital security camera normally requires two connections to be made when it is installed:

• A network connection, in order to be able to communicate with video recording and display equipment
• A power connection, to deliver the electrical power the camera needs to operate

However, if the camera is POE-enabled, only the network connection needs to be made, as it will receive its electrical power from this cable as well.
