FAQ
What types of equipment is this surge suppressor designed to protect?
The DITEK DTK-2MHLP24BWB is specifically engineered to protect datacommunication and telecommunication equipment. This includes devices like network switches, routers, modems, PBX systems, and VoIP phones that are connected via data or phone lines. It safeguards these sensitive electronics from voltage surges that can occur due to lightning, power fluctuations, or electrical noise, helping to prevent damage and ensure uninterrupted operation.
How does the terminal block receptacle work for surge protection?
The terminal block receptacle uses screw-down connectors to secure wiring for datacommunication or telecommunication lines. When a surge occurs, the suppressor diverts the excess voltage through its internal components, such as metal oxide varistors (MOVs), away from the connected equipment. This design ensures a stable, vibration-resistant connection that maintains protection over time, unlike plug-in surge protectors that may loosen. It's ideal for permanent installations in racks or enclosures.
What does the 20 kA maximum surge current rating mean?
The 20 kA (kiloampere) maximum surge current rating indicates the peak current the surge suppressor can handle during a transient event, such as a lightning strike or power surge. This high rating means the device can absorb and divert substantial energy away from protected equipment, reducing the risk of damage. It's a measure of robustness, making this suppressor suitable for environments with higher surge risks, like industrial sites or areas prone to electrical storms.
Is this surge suppressor compliant with government procurement standards?
Yes, this surge suppressor is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, which means it meets the requirements for procurement by U.S. government agencies. TAA compliance ensures the product is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country, making it eligible for federal contracts. This feature is crucial for public sector projects, educational institutions, and other organizations that must adhere to government sourcing regulations.
What environmental standards does this product meet?
This surge suppressor adheres to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) environmental compliance standard. RoHS restricts the use of specific hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, in electronic products. By being RoHS compliant, the device is environmentally friendly, reducing its impact on waste and health. This makes it a responsible choice for organizations focused on sustainability and regulatory compliance in their IT infrastructure.
What is included in the 10-year limited warranty?
The 10-year limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. It provides assurance that the surge suppressor will perform as specified for a decade, offering long-term protection for your investment. If the product fails due to manufacturing issues within this period, DITEK will repair or replace it according to their warranty terms. This extended warranty reflects the product's durability and reliability in surge protection applications.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
Is this unit designed for rack or tower deployment?
For power-protection products, the most useful FAQ topics are usually capacity, outlet arrangement, runtime characteristics, and installation format. Those details do more to explain real deployment fit than generic marketing language.
