Protection for European communications

A five-point protection module designed to safeguard European telecomms network lines from overvoltage, overcurrent, lightning and ESD is now available from Solid State Supplies.

A five-point protection module designed to safeguard European telecomms network lines from overvoltage, overcurrent, lightning and electrostatic discharge is now available from Solid State Supplies.

According to Richard Bethell, Franchise Manager at Teccor's UK agent: "Teccor's T1 Euro Module eliminates the electrical threats that can destroy the infrastructure network or degrade its performance.

The module allows the network to operate at its maximum speed and bandwidth with no signal degradation".

Using integrated semiconductor technology for self-resetting protection, the modules are transparent to the telephone network until needed.

In addition to reducing network faults and service calls, the module is supported by a six year warranty.

The T1 single-leg plug-in protector is available in breakdown voltages from 35 to 250V and overcurrent ratings from 150mA to 1.2A.

Compatible with the European telecomms standard Main Distribution Frames, as well as with all asymmetric digital subscriber line systems, its optimum performance occurs between -40 and +65C.

"Compared with conventional protection technology, which uses gas discharge tubes, plain solid-state or hybrid technology, the Euro Module provides 40% faster reaction times and resets repeatedly for uninterrupted protection", says Bethell.
