FAQ
What types of network connections does the DNET1 surge suppressor protect?
The DNET1 protects RJ45-based data lines supporting protocols like 100Base-T and 10Base-T Ethernet, Token Ring, AS400/Sys3x, and RS422 serial connections. It is designed for network equipment such as NICs, hubs, printers, and terminals, ensuring compatibility across diverse network infrastructures.
How does the 750A circuit breaker and 7.5V clamping voltage work in this suppressor?
The 750A circuit breaker interrupts excessive current during a surge event, while the 7.5V nominal clamping voltage limits transient voltages to a safe level. This combination prevents damage from electrostatic discharge, faulty wiring, and lightning by diverting harmful energy away from connected devices.
Is the DNET1 suitable for rack-mounted installations?
Yes, its compact dimensions of 6" height, 3" width, and 2" depth allow it to fit easily in equipment racks or along cable management paths. The lightweight design at 3.73 ounces ensures it can be secured without adding significant bulk, making it ideal for server rooms or network closets.
What is included in the package with the DNET1 Network Surge Suppressor?
The package includes the DNET1 Network Surge Suppressor unit, a DNET1 dataline protector, a 5-inch RJ45 patch cable for connectivity, and warranty information with an instruction manual. This provides everything needed for immediate installation and operation.
Does the DNET1 require external power or configuration to function?
No, the DNET1 operates passively without external power or configuration. Simply connect it inline between your network device and the network source using the included RJ45 patch cable. It provides automatic surge protection as soon as it is installed.
What warranty coverage does Tripp Lite offer for the DNET1 surge suppressor?
Tripp Lite provides a lifetime limited warranty for the DNET1, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This long-term warranty reflects the product's durability and reliability, offering peace of mind for business IT deployments where continuous protection is essential.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
